Here are the activities we've done on the last part of our Insect Study.
Activity 1: Moulding insects using plasticine and playdough.

Activity 2: Matching the insect figures to the insect picture cards we have. Also, we used our fact cards to learn about each insect group and their characteristics.

Activity 3: Body parts. Here Mavi worked on a worksheet identifying the major body parts of an insect.

Activity 4: Sorting of insect and non-insect animal figures. Oh he loved this!! See how he identifies the figure? He sorted them by counting their legs!

Activity 5: This is just out of the blue activity. I was cleaning up our kitchen and saw Mavi's old learning materials in a box. So I took them out and let him play with these minibeasts again. We had this activity before when he was 3 years old, picking up the insects using the kiddie chopsticks. The toy insects were from a local store here.

And that ends our Arthropods-Insect Study :) Next is Crustaceans and Centipedes, but I'm reserving this topic in July or August.
And there you go peeps! If you have any questions just leave me a comment and I will get back to you as soon as I can. You are free to share this post and copy the activities (just link back to me if you find my activities interesting).

Great stuff. I don't think my comment posted on part one, but I mentioned how much our kids loved the life cycle activity (we focused on insects, not arthropods in general). Thanks for sharing.
