Zel was so excited when he saw his book bucket full of bug books. I also put some bug finger puppets in there too! He just kept saying "bugs" over and over. He looked through every book on his own then asked me to read them to him. I love that he is such a little book worm.
Here are some great bug books for toddlers that are approved by Zel:
The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
Bugs That Go! by David A. Carter
Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! by Bob Barner
Giant Pop-Out Bugs: A Pop-Out Surprise Book by Chronicle Books
The Itsy-Bitsy Spider by Rosemary Wells
Some great bug crafts and activities:
Giant Spider Web from Making Boys Men
Use fly swatters to make Spider Web Art from Fit Kids Clubhouse
Recycled Magazine Butterflies from Mama's Little Muse
Check out our Coffee Filter Butterflies too
Make a Buggy Breakfast with famiglia&seoul
Or try the classic Ants on a Log from Cheerios & Lattes.
I always used to eat these as a kid, but my Mom made them with celery instead of banana (I never ate the celery).
We also made our own edible dirt cups using this recipe from Quirky Mama:
Zel had so much fun making these and eating half of it in the process!
That concludes our bug week (well it turned into almost 2 weeks because Zel loved it so much). Have a great Monday!
