By embracing the natural curiosity about bugs, we teach kids to work
with nature rather than against it. We model “observing” before
“interacting.” It’s important for kids to learn to observe before interacting, so they don’t harm a helper. They learn that even the tiniest creature can help make a
difference in the natural world. Sometimes fascination can lead to fear if a kid touches a bug they
shouldn’t or gets stung by a territorial bee. Teaching them to “look
before they leap” is a great lead into a lesson about the social
hierarchy of the insect world. Teaching kids to observe bug behavior is another great learning tool. Through careful observation, we learn whether the bug is a friend or foe in the garden.
YAY FOR BUG WEEK!
