The easiest way for young children and elementary school children to learn about insects and their important role in the eco system is to get outside and have a look at them.
In warm weather there’s often so much to observe right in our back yards! Kids can seek out tiny larvae and insects in their adult stage. It’s really common to see caterpillars munching leaves or an adult butterfly collecting nectar!
A fun and easy task is to take a magnifying glass and try to identify the body parts of an adult insect.
They can look to see what the food sources of the insects might be. They might find small holes in leaves as a clue!
So, grab your explorer hat and magnifying glass and let’s zoom into the tiny world of insects that’s big on wonders! What a fun journey of discovery, learning and wonder for curious critter lovers!
