Backyard Bugs are great fun and educational March 7, 2008
I purchased these to use in my preschool classroom. The kids LOVE them!!!
These bugs are fun just to explore, but they also provide a great way to teach sorting and patterning. There are five colors of bugs, so you can sort them just by color. Then, when the children are a little older, you can show them that - even though they're the same color - they aren't exactly the same. (Within each color group there are 2 each of every bug.) There's also an opportunity to teach the difference between "bugs" and spiders, as well as introducing the idea of metomorphosis (the caterpillar will turn into a butterfly).
The only downside I've found to these little critters is that they're made of a soft rubber. While the texture is cool for the kids, it also makes it very easy to pull off legs and antennae.
