Insect Cards
Are you teaching your kids about bugs? Learning about bugs and various creepy crawlies can be fun for some kids. Others, maybe not so much. You can use these beautiful watercolor insect cards to help students learn about insects (whether or not the like bugs!).
Insect Cards Set #1
Two sets of printable fact cards are included in these Free Insect Nature Cards. Each insect card includes a beautiful watercolor image of each insect along with key information such as:
- the insect’s classification and/or scientific name
- its average size
- its main colors
- other interesting facts (kids are going to love learning about the cool thing the click beetle does!)
Insect Cards Set #2
The second insect card set includes an image of the insect along with blank lines where students can copy the information they have learned.
