There are so many fun ways to explore this unit and watch little minds be amazed as they learn about ladybugs, honeybees, spiders, and all the other insects around us everyday. It is amazing to watch them as they read through books related […]

SPIDER SCIENCE ACTIVITIES

Creepy crawly critters are definitely NOT my favorite creatures, but spider science has always been fun to teach. It’s easy to see why! Why Spiders? Spiders are a great way to teach a variety of science skills. From the basic needs of living things to life cycle and anatomy. Spiders are designed specifically for their […]

COUNTNG ANTS MATH GAME

Do your kiddos like bugs? Right now my daughter is not a fan of ants. Every time a storm hits our house, those little critters always find a safe home in my kids’ bathroom. Always. Let me tell you, it is no fun having to kill ants while the kids brush their teeth. And while […]

BUTTERFLY LIFE CYCLE FOR LITTLE LEARNERS

Elissa Jones — Mon, 07 Mar 2016 23:16:55 +0000

The best way to teach little learners about life cycle is to experience first hand. Experience the butterfly life cycle with your learners by watching caterpillars grow, form into a chrysalis and turn into butterflies. The cold weather has passed, which means the little critters are out and about. What a perfect time to get […]

This is the fourth and final post for my Metamorphosis for Little Learners series. Grayson had a great experience watching his butterflies grow and change.

BUTTERFLY LIFE CYCLE: PART THREE

Ki-sis. Yep, that’s what our caterpillars changed into…a ki-sis! Haha! Grayson was so excited, and a tad bit confused, to see his caterpillars change into chrysalises or chrysalides. It’s not easy explaining what a chrysalises is to a three year old, but I did it. It doesn’t hurt to use those big scientific words even […]

We are continuing our study on life cycles at home! Recently, we had a butterfly kit delivered to our home. We had so much fun exploring the life of a caterpillar. Grayson has enjoyed watching our caterpillars grow (and Daddy has, too). They have gotten big so quickly, and will be turning into chrysalises soon. Last […]

BACKYARD BUG HUNT

Elissa Jones — Fri, 05 Dec 2014 19:00:00 +0000

After learning about caterpillars and butterflies, it was time to explore and find more bugs! My little entomologist and I ventured out into the backyard for our very own backyard bug hunt. This spring we have seen so many bugs outside, but during our bug hunt we searched and searched… …and found ONE little roly poly […]
