Description
Let's explore the small world of insects with these insect preschool activities! Tunnel down the ant farm to practice letter recognition, match letters to beginning sounds with self-correcting puzzles with all of the backyard bugs, don't let the bug catchers capture the bugs in a game, practice addition on the wings of a butterfly, and much more! The best part is incorporating science with an entire insect investigation!
