Montessori note

A clearly outlined insect is a great way to name body parts: head, wing cases, legs and antennae. Coloring each part one at a time trains close looking and fine hand control.

Did you know?

A May beetle spends three to four years underground as a grub. Only then does it hatch as a beetle in spring and fly for just a few weeks.

After coloring

Head outside in spring and look for real beetles. Count their legs together: how many can you find?
