I am not crazy about bugs. In fact, I am very squeamish around them. I have held a snake, but I can’t bring myself to hold a stick insect (?!) My boys however, are fascinated with bugs.
After putting this round up of bug inspired activities for children together, I shake my head at myself. I need to get over my squeamishness. These bug inspired activities for children are so fun and pack a punch when it comes to playful learning.
Happy playing, because #playmatters.
