Encouraging a child's interest and appreciation for some of nature's smallest critters starts at an early age. Preschool bug programs are specifically designed for 3 - 5 year old children and focus on teaching awareness and respect for bugs, learning the difference between bug groups, and common bugs you may see in your parks and gardens.
We bring displays, preserved specimens, a live scorpion and live tarantula to your classroom (although we do not allow students to hold these animals).
We offer two different programs for Montessori and pre-school students. All presentations include a craft for 20 students.
Presentation Topics
- Bug Diversity: Learn about insect diversity, the differences between insects and other bugs, the various ways that insects protect themselves and view some impressive live bugs too. Students make a bug catcher.
- Arachnids are the group of bugs that include spiders, mites and scorpions, among others. Learn about these various types of bugs, the differences between them, where you find them, what the biggest and the smallest, and some amazing facts about these animals. Students make an arachnid craft.
