Wow! Can you tell we've been having fun during our Virtual Book Club Summer Camp Bug Week? The Educators' Spin On It, Rainy Day Mum, and I have been finding all sorts of ways to embed BUGS into our learning and playtimes this past week.
Here are 14 book-inspired bug week activities that we've shared over the past week! Click on each link for more details about the books we shared and how to do each activity.
In addition to sharing about bugs on our blogs and on Instagram (you can find me at KristinaToddlerApproved at Cerys at RainyDayMum), we have also been pinning ideas that we've found to our Virtual Book Club Summer Camp Pinterest Board. Here's a sneak peak below of some of the ideas we've been collecting so far... and we'll be adding more and more as camp continues.
We also have a board specifically for Bug Week if you want more ideas for your creepy crawly loving kids.
If you've done any bug themed activities this week, come share them on our VBC Facebook wall or tag them with #vbcsummercamp or #bugweek and we'll come check them out and share them!
