Junior Entomologists Need Materials to Learn About Insects!

Help me give my students materials to learn about insects. We are learning about butterflies, ladybugs, mealworms, and ants. The Ant Farm Kit Giant and Butterfly Kit will help us bring some of these animals into the classroom!

My Project

My students are an amazing group of 3-4 year olds who love hands-on activities and learning. They are beginning to study insects and are already making connections between what they know and what we are discussing in class.

We are excited to use the lifecycle miniatures to learn about the lifecycle of insects.

We are also going to spend time learning about symmetry, and the paint and construction paper will allow us to demonstrate our learning in our art. Of course, we can't wait to see the ants and butterflies as they grow in our classroom and we observe them daily.
