Activity #1: Bug Masks That Can’t Be Beat
Download and print any of the three masks (skip down to masks) in either black &
white or color. Encourage children to make their masks unique, using things around
like glitter, glue, paint, yarn, rubber bands and pipe cleaners.
You can also print out EXTRAordinary Bug Parts (skip down to parts) for bug-errific
features like antennae, ears, eyelashes, sunglasses and tattoos.
Activity #2: Critter Coloring Sheets
Our two collections of coloring sheets let children decide which critter they’d
like to spiff up. Then you can proudly display their masterpieces!
Activity #3: Ant Maze
The argentine ant has found her way back to the anthill, but needs help getting
to her chamber. She can go under a tunnel but not through a wall. Are your students
up to the challenge? Pencils are highly recommended, since even adults rarely solve
a maze on their first try!
