Bugs, Insects, and Other Small Creatures
Children are often curious about the tiny creatures they find in gardens, parks, forests, and schoolyards. Coloring gives them time to notice details such as wings, antennae, legs, patterns, and body shapes.
Although people often use the word “bug” for many small crawling creatures, not every little creature is scientifically classified as an insect. These pages offer an accessible starting point for conversations about insects, habitats, life cycles, and the differences between animals such as insects and spiders.
