The warm weather brings bugs and insects and while they are creepy in my eyes, my kids love bugs. Especially my boys; they spend their days following and rescuing ants. My son traps flies he finds in the house and releases them outside. Spiders get left alone since they help catch other bugs. This time of the year is a great time to explore the backyard to see what other little creatures you can find.
If you have a garden, there are plenty pill bugs and earthworms to investigate. Our favorite is the ladybug, it's the least ickiest, at least in my eyes. They don't bite or hurt you so they're a favorite bug to follow around. Science worksheets are a great way to keep the learning going when you're indoors.
I know my kids always come up with the best questions when we're outdoors and I don't always have the answer to them. When we're inside we can spend our time looking up facts and answer questions I wasn't able to earlier.

Life Cycle of a Ladybug Supplies
- Printer
- Paper
- Cardstock (optional)
- Dot Markers or Bingo dabbers
- Pencil
- Scissors
The first two worksheets have word banks that you can cut out so your preschooler can glue the answers into the correct position. The cards can be cut out onto cardstock and you can either keep the words together or cut them apart and match them up. You can use dot markers on the dot coloring page and you'll need a pencil for the 4 writing pages.
Remember that worksheets are only one part of the learning process. Ladybugs are fun when they are studied in person, have them keep a bug journal or draw pictures of the bugs they see.
