Let's investigate Bugs will inspire and excite young minds. Dig and discover them in the sand table/box. Compare and examine these wonderfully detailed bug imprints and sort through the series of eight different insects.
Support children's growing understanding of the world with this engaging and realistic set of bugs. Featuring an ant, beetle, butterfly, centipede, dragonfly, ladybug, spider, and woodlouse, this fascinating set of eight bugs provide children the opportunity to learn close up about the living creatures they will encounter in daily life without them scuttling or flying away!
Insects and creepy crawlies open up the outdoor space in a fascinating way, as children are drawn into the life that is going on right under their noses. Go on a bug hunt, study any finds discovered outside, brush them off and clean them up. Make a record of what's been found by taking a wax rubbing and/or making an imprint in modelling clay.
Able to fit well in small hands, these bugs will inspire children's imagination and excite young learners in their non-fiction research. Ideal for investigative play, they can be used to explore the making of bug homes, displays of rubbings and clay imprints. The stone texture offers a wonderful sensory experience, promoting a very focused play activity. Made from a unique stone mix, these are very durable for use both inside and outdoors. Ages: 2+.
