Is everything that crawls a bug? Is everything with wings a bug? With a basket full of toys kids can investigate what it takes to be called a bug. This simple sorting tray helps them learn to scientifically classify and observe while also helping you as the parent or teacher know what they understand to help them grow.
Extend the insect learning fun with even more hands-on activities! Kids can practice early math skills with the Catch a Bug Math Activity + Free Printable, build reading confidence with the Color The Bug: Free Printable Emergent Reader Book, and explore sensory play and discovery with the Bug Fossil Sensory Bin. These bug-themed activities make learning interactive, playful, and perfect for curious little explorers.
Bug or Not? Simple Sorting Tray
Supplies:
Plastic Bugs-affiliate link
Plastic animals or random toys
Tray
Directions:
Talk about what a bug is. We looked through our insect and bug books, discussed the parts of an insect, and we plan on doing this Color and Label Bee Printable next.
Place all the items in a basket. Have child sort them into two piles (1 for bugs, 1 for things that aren’t bugs). We had more bugs when we did this activity then you can see in the picture but before I could photograph the activity the kids helped the bugs fly and didn’t bother to see where they landed–oops!
