These activities are from my Bugs and Insects Preschool Pack in my TPT shop.
Bugs and Insects Preschool Pack
Here is a peek inside the pack.
Swat the Bug- There are sight word cards, or alphabet cards. Call out a letter/word and swat it with a fly swatter.
You can tell from the smiles, this was a HIT!
Small World Play- Tree stumps, rocks, sticks, plastic bugs, and AstroTurf flooring samples!
Counting Spots- Pick a number card and add that many black pom poms to the ladybug.
Spin and Cover Bugs- Spin a spinner and name the color. Cover a bug with that same color.
Caterpillar Name Craft- Have your students write one letter from their name on each circle. Cut and glue to spell out their name.
Sensory Tray- Another sensory tray of bugs and black beans.
Cutting Practice- Can you find the bugs?!
Fine Motor Color Match- Match a bead to each colored bug.
Counting Bugs- Pick a counting card. Count that many bugs into the bug catcher.
Butterfly Symmetry Smash Art- I cut butterfly shapes out of cardstock. The boys squirted paint onto one side of each butterfly. We folded the butterflies in half and smashed the paint. These turned out gorgeous!!
Roll and Cover- Roll a dice and cover a bug with that many dots.
Bug Beginning Sounds- Cover each picture with the correct beginning sound.
Tracing- Trace each line, shape, or word.
Beginning Sounds- Place a letter bead below each bug to identify the beginning sound.
Rhyming Puzzles- Match the puzzle pieces that rhyme.
Write the Room- Place the bug cards around the room. As you find a bug, write the letter on the line.
My boys were really interested in learning about bees, so we did a lot of bee themed activities too!
Bee Art- We used a potato smasher to paint bees. Then, we painted and printed bubble wrap on a white hexagon to make our hive. When the bees were dry, we added black lines with Kwix Stix and sticker eyes.
