Activities:
- Take a bug walk - Take a walk in your yard, around your neighborhood, or even the park to see what types of bugs you can spot. This is a great time of year to see all types of spiders, ants, etc. in their habitats. Take pictures to send to school and we'll share them with the class.
- Build a bug - Use items you have at home like play doh and toothpicks to let your child build their own bug.
