This project helps with communication skills, listening, following directions, and cooperation. The partner listens and adds the same features to the bug without seeing the other child’s paper. The communicator adds features to the bug by drawing & coloring, and communicates each step to a partner. One child has the role of communicator and one child had the role of listener. They work in pairs to create bugs that are the same (“bug twins”). This is not a color sheet, the page only has 3 circles. Read the blog post here for details: story retelling Bug TwinsĬhildren are given a simple bug outline. Choose a book that goes with the theme, and have the children retell the story. This is an activity that goes with any theme. Read more about this idea at Eric Carle’s Caterpillar Exchange. The children try to sequence the story from memory. The Very Hungry Caterpillar foods are made from construction paper, and are strung on a green ribbon “caterpillar”. Bug Literacy Activities Very Hungry Caterpillar Story Retelling You can read about this activity at the Eric Carle Caterpillar Exchange. This clothespin art activity goes with the book, The Very Clumsy Click Beetle, by Eric Carle. We make bugs using half of a cardboard egg carton, paint, wiggle eyes, pom-pom balls, and other materials. When it is time for the butterfly to come out of the cocoon, the butterfly “wings” are then clipped in the clothespin caterpillar. Another day, we paint a coffee filter with watercolor paints. We decorate a clothespin with pom poms to look like a caterpillar and put it inside the cocoon. We talk about the life cycle of a butterfly, and make a cocoon with a toilet paper tube and white yarn. We add wiggle eyes and pipe cleaner pieces for the antennae and legs. Bug Art Activities Egg Carton AntsĬhildren paint an egg carton (cut so that each child had 3 egg cups for the 3 body parts) with their choice of either red, brown, or black paint. The children use yarn to lace through the holes, and decorate them with markers. To make these, I traced a butterfly outline onto old file folders, cut them out, and punched holes around the edge. Children make model bugs with play dough to put in the boxes. We place strips of green construction paper (for grass) in some small bug boxes (available at the Dollar Tree). The Tale of the Tzar Saltan: Flight of the Bumblebee ~ Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov Bug Fine Motor Skills Play Dough Bugs Occasionally, I stop the music, which means the person with the beanbag is “stung” and moves to the middle of the circle. We play a game with this song by passing a beanbag (the “bee”) like a hot potato around the circle of children while the music played. Check here for a complete list of Books about Bugs!
