Ooh fun!! My daughter is doing a month long “Bug Camp” this summer…at first I thought that seemed like too long, but apparently there are plenty of material! Thanks for this great list, how cool!!
Love..Love..Love all these great ideas! Thank you!
I love doing bug and insect activities with the kids in my Childcare. I’m always looking for more- especially for 1-2 year olds!
I love your round up of bug activities. I would like to invite you to link up this post to my Money Saving Monday Link Up.
Thank You,

I have been seeking bug related fun things for my “just-now” two year old grandson. Years before he was even born, I found a great battery operated bug, which my grandson now absolutely loves. I am creating a pattern for a sewn bug-activity book. But I would like to get my hands on sound effects to incorporate in my book. I am planning on making them removable for the sake of washing the book. Any ideas for sources? I have perfected my bee, complete with wings that flap when you tug the stinger string. The book won’t be ready for him until Christmas, so I have some time!
