Blue's Bug Safari Stickers
Magnifying glasses (optional)

Directions

Step 1
Pair children together to see if they can find live examples of the bugs on <a href="blues-clues-bug-safari-stickers.jhtml">Blue's Bug</a> sticker in your backyard. When they find bugs, ask the children what they notice about them. How do they move? Do they crawl or fly? How many legs do the bugs have? Are they fast or slow? Can you see their eyes? What kinds of noises do the bugs make? What do you think they eat? Provide magnifying glasses so kids can get a closer look.
Step 2
If you think kids might be squeamish about live bugs, print out two sets of <a href="blues-clues-bug-safari-stickers.jhtml">Blue's Bug</a> printable and cut out the pictures. Place one set of pictures on a table and hide another set around your yard. Send your clue-seekers out to find the cards.
