Bugs!

Buggies! Such a fun thing to talk about.  Even though most of us are scared of the majority of these real things, playing with little pretend critters is oh so cute!  

Here are the cute little lightning bugs that we made (courtesy of my co-teacher at schools idea).  
We decorated Easter eggs with pipe cleaners and foil for wings, then we stuck some miniature light up fake candles in the inside to create lightning bugs!  (you can find these lights at a Dollar Tree or similar store).  We flew these little buggies EVERYWHERE inside the house just to make sure they glowed the same amount everywhere they went. =)







Then we created a little bug exploration sensory table with dirt, life cycle of a ladybug, and bug catchers with magnifying glasses and nets.  



 Our art activities included ladybugs, ants on a picnic blanket, and as always, Big K threw in her own creativity and decided she wanted to make a handprint fly.  Not really sure if I see it, but she knew where she was going with it, so there you go! 



                                     




Bug hunted outside...(we pretty much found mostly worms) 




Can't believe she touched this! 


And bug hunted inside...






Then we retold the story "There was an old lady who swallowed a Fly" with our fun interactive doll, over and over and over.  Simply couldn't get enough of this funny old lady!
