Bug Crafts and Activities for PreK

It’s that time of year again, time to start planning for bug themed crafts and activities for your preschool classroom. I love bugs because it’s so easy for us to go outside and see some, they are relevant and familiar for every student. They are also super fun to learn about in all different ways. Here are some of my recent favorite bug crafts and activities for PreK.

 

Bug Themed Literacy Activities

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Missing Letter Game 
We do missing letter games weekly in my class, and the students not only love playing but they are also learning through play.

Dot Sticker Bugs 

This is a favorite free choice art invitation in my PreK classroom. I pope out some dot stickers and invite my students to creat their own bugs.

Bandaid Bugs
I love these lightening bugs aka fireflies! How cute are they and trust me your students will love making the out of band-aids!

Clay and Bead Snail 

This activity works on hand strength as well as other fine motor skills your students need for eventual handriting and self-help skills.

Don’t wait until Halloween to explore spiders with your class.
