Imagination and problem-solving go to work as children check out real bugs and create their own.
1.
Look at butterflies and moths, ladybugs, spiders, worms, and a variety of other insects. Talk about what you see in terms of shapes, colors, patterns, and body parts.
2.
With Crayola® Model Magic, form a 3-dimensional bug. Repeat the shapes, colors, and patterns found in nature or be imaginative and design a fantasy bug.
3.
Use modeling tools such as plastic knives, craft sticks, or drinking straws to cut and shape the dough.
Document how things change over time by creating a layered-tab book with Crayola® Watercolor illustrations.
Compare seasons with a changeable folded-paper triarama.
