🌿 I’ve created two background colour options for your convenience!

If you’re currently exploring the world of bugs with your children, this Bug Scavenger Hunt and Outdoor Scavenger Hunt is the perfect extension activity. It takes their interest in insects beyond the classroom and into the natural environment, encouraging curiosity, observation, and exploration.

Through this activity, children can:

- Develop their scientific thinking by observing, identifying, and comparing different types of insects and natural elements.

- Enhance their language skills by learning and using new vocabulary (e.g. antennae, wings, habitat, camouflage).

- Build their fine motor skills while collecting items and marking off their scavenger lists.

- Strengthen social skills through group collaboration, taking turns, and sharing discoveries.

- Foster a deeper appreciation and respect for nature and living creatures, laying the groundwork for environmental awareness.

This engaging, hands-on experience supports children’s cognitive development and allows them to make meaningful connections between their interests and the world around them.

Let the bug-hunting adventures begin! 🐞🌼
