Preschool Entomology - Bug Activities for Preschoolers

Preschoolers and bugs seem to have a natural partnership. Most preschoolers love learning about and doing science projects with preschool-safe bugs such as butterflies, ladybugs, worm and snails. While you might be disgusted with their handling of insects, it's wonderful for your preschooler to develop an interest in bugs. Help develop your preschooler's interest in insects with these fun science activities.

Backyard Safari Bug Scope

The bug scope is a portable and light ‘microscope’ that your preschooler can use to observe bugs up to six times magnification. This product is designed not to smoosh the bug, so you won’t have to worry about explaining the untimely death of the insect. Your preschooler can now see the hairy legs of a spider, or watch a fly clean its face and wings. Let them observe a caterpillar eating a leaf or a ladybug eating an aphid with this great preschool science holiday gift.
