The packet came with labels for each body part of an insect and it even came with a variety of fun shapes to use. I had my kiddos draw their own but I wanted them to use the provided labels and come up with a name for their new insect.
This kiddo was perhaps my best artist. |
"Prae Butter Bee" I think it's supposed to be 1/3 praying mantis, 1/3 butterfly, 1/3 bumble bee. So Creative! |
This is "Terminator" It's made up of vicious parts of several powerful insects. |
I think next year we'll do more labeling practice but I think that they all got really into it. I don't think I had any kiddos rush through and they all kept asking so many questions. "Is a scorpion an insect? What does a bee head look like?" I projected Google images and we discussed what we saw to answer these questions.

They knew what labels were and why we used them but even after modeling I had some kiddos gluing them on top of the body part or side ways or crowding them together. Oh my it was funny looking.
DeleteVery cute!
