Insect Printables
Not a big fan of real insects, but I'm totally okay with cute insect crafts and activities. In fact our popular Sequencing Stick was inspired by the popular Very Hungry Caterpillar.
I've used my kiddos finger and hand prints to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly...
and I recently shared a fun math game using mini eraser butterflies-- a great way to help your kiddo count to 10 and/or 20!
Keeping with the insect theme, we are sharing a fun I SPY-inspired graphing practice game!
So moral of the story, fake bugs good-- real bugs, bad! Ha!

I will say that although I am no fan of bugs, we have "grown" butterflies before and that was such a cool experience! It is a must in my book if you haven't done it! Anyways... onto graphing!!
