Searching for Helpful bugs in the garden
Children used fine motor skills to dig through the dirt and grab different bugs and sort them. The bugs were sorted by number, color, and type of bug. For example, one red spider, two orange beetles, three yellow lady bugs, four green grasshoppers, five blue crickets, six purple bumblebees, seven pink garden spiders. They loved exploring through the dirt, getting super dirty and making a mess, exploring the different bugs, sorting them out, and seeing how many bugs they could find. This was a very exciting sensory activity that dealt with math by counting, color recognition, and pincer grasp.
