Bug Week

Inspired by my friend, Jessica, I wanted to do some themes for the kids during the summer. The first one we did was Bug Week, and it was lots of fun!

We enjoyed all kinds of things such as bug hunts, bug crafts and eating bug snacks. We also read great bug books like Miss Spider's ABC's, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and The Grouchy Ladybug. The boys really enjoyed the whole week!

Thanks, Jessica, for the great lesson plans and ideas!

I didn't get pictures of everything we did, but here is a sampling:

Making Lady Bugs

The Finished Product

We also made Caterpillars...

...and ate fun snacks like Ants on a Log, Spider Cookies, and Dirt Cups.

We used homemade magnifying glasses (minus the glass) on our bug hunts...

...and found some ants, a spider, a beetle and a few roly-polies.
(I think I'm glad we didn't find any more than that!)



Of course, Seth was along for the ride,
but he let the big boys do most of the work!
What a fun week!
