Free Printable Insect Coloring Pages for Curious Kids
Even though as adults we often cringe when we see insects, most children find them fascinating! After all, they're creepy, they're crawly, and they're interesting to look at and study. Free printable insect coloring pages provide kids with the opportunity to observe the world around them so they'll know which colors to use to make the insects look real. If you can, consider capturing some insects in a breathable container so your child can observe while he colors the insects on these coloring sheets. In addition to coloring the object, have him list three traits about the insect that make it different from other types of bugs. This is just one way that you can incorporate coloring sheets and hands on activities in your lessons.
Learn About Different Species Using Free Printable Insect Coloring Pages
Your child will find it interesting to know that there are far more insects on the planet than there are humans. Even within certain types of insects, like butterflies, there can be thousands of different species or more. This free printable butterfly coloring page can help you explain that concept. Study different species of butterflies and have your child choose one with a color scheme that he or she likes to use it to color this page. Although the coloring sheet is for a spotted butterfly, your child can draw additional designs on the wings to make it look like other species. Encourage your child to use this as a base to draw many different types of butterflies! By putting a blank piece of paper over the picture, the outline of the butterfly can easily be traced thanks to the dark, bold lines in the image. Your child can then personalize the butterfly anyway he wishes. Once your child has colored butterfly pages to address several different species, hang them up on your bulletin board or put them in a binder to refer back to later.
