Exploring Bugs, Bugs, Bugs!

Picture
For a simple start this week, simply get moving with your little to this fun Summer themed song from the Singing Walrus. When kids are moving, they're learning. Try modeling movements to match the words swim, bike, surf, hike, read, camp, play, dance. 
The Singing Walrus Summer Song
This week, get outside and explore the world around you! Bugs are a Summer staple that might be pesky for parents, but learning tools for littles! Here are some bug resources to get outside with! 

Bug Books

​Start with some of the following bug titles before going on a bug hunt outside!

Bug Hunt

After reading some books about bugs, go on an insect hunt together. Here are some adapted ideas for Pre-K age children from Scholastic's Exploring Bugs Bugs Bugs lesson. Ask your child where they think they would find insects. Where would they hide if they were insects? Tell them you're going on a bug hunt. Stress that they should not harm the insects, that they are scientists observing them in the field. Ask them to watch the way the insects move. What colors are they? How big are they? If you have a child-safe magnifying glass, try sharing that together outside. It will help narrow their field of vision and focus their attention on a small area. After your hunt, invite your child to create an insect of their choice, or invent a whole new insect using their imagination. Display their scientific creation proudly and share with other family members!

Bug Song

(Sung to the tune of “Brother John”)
I’m an insect, I’m an insect,
With three body parts, with three body parts.
Head, thorax, abdomen. Head, thorax, abdomen.
And six legs, and six legs.
 
Sing it through a few times, then invite your child to sing along with you or to make up hand or body movements to go with the words as you sing.
