It is Springtime which is evident in Paris thanks to all of the April showers! It has been raining non-stop for days! I love including insect activities for kids in my lesson planning this time of year. Maybe you do too!
We have been gardening the past couple of weeks at Le Chemin ABA and we came across a slimy slug in our little courtyard garden. Of course the slug provoked great fascination and lots of noise! Inspired by our garden slug, I have collected some fun learning activities that are all about bugs for you to enjoy with your little learners too.
