Preschool Science Holiday Gifts – Fun Bug Gifts

Are you desperate for that last minute preschool holiday gift? Do you want something that’s educational as well as fun? Do you have a preschooler that loves observing, catching and playing with bugs? Then one of these preschool science holiday gifts is sure to appeal to that preschooler on your holiday list.

Backyard Safari Bug Vacuum

Is your preschooler always trying to catch bugs but missing them? Are they inadvertently squishing insects when they try to catch them? Does your preschooler like looking at the ants or spiders that accidentally come into the home? With this bug vacuum, your preschooler can safely vacuum up bugs. The bugs are then gently deposited into a clear container, with a magnifier, so your preschooler can observe them or release them into a jar or habitat.

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.

Creature Peeper

The creature peeper is a great product for those bugs your preschooler is always catching and trying to see up close. Not only will the magnification on this product allow your preschooler to see the bug in detail, but they can also see the bottom of the insect too. Now they can see how a caterpillar or a worm moves, or the foot of a snail as they inch along.

Backyard Safari Bug Habitat

This habitat is fun and safe way to observe caught bugs. This product includes a hut, a small hill, vegetation and even a pretend waterfall. Let your preschooler's imagination be fired as they watch the bugs crawl around exploring their new home. This product also contains a movable magnifier so your preschooler can see the small details of their insects.

Insect Lore Ladybug Land

This is a fun way for your preschooler to observe ladybugs. When you purchase this habitat, you'll mail in a certificate for ladybug larvae. Your preschooler will actually get to observe ladybugs larvae becoming pupa and then turning into the red beetles we're all familiar with. Your ladybugs will live in this perfect habititat for your preschooler to observe their life cycle. 

 

Insect Lore Butterfly Garden

The butterfly garden is a great way for your preschooler to learn the life cycle of a butterfly. You'll send away for caterpillars that will arrive in the mail. Soon after arriving, the caterpillars will turn into cocoons and then into butterflies you can release into the backyard. This is a great product for your preschooler’s classroom.
