Bugs

With Spring comes Summer and with Summer comes bugs! All different kinds of bugs and insects are out and about and ready to be investigated. Some bugs fly in the sky, some crawl in the grass, others hide under rocks and logs. Head outside for some bug hunting with this fun Bug Bingo sheet. Children can look for bugs and insects, and learn their names. Grab a magnifying glass and let’s explore!
