Let's go on a bug hunt! Get the kids ready for an outdoor bug adventure this Spring with our free printable bug scavenger hunt. Kids love minibeasts so what could be better than grabbing a magnifying glass and our bug scavenger hunt and heading out to explore. Toddlers and preschoolers and older children alike will love hunting under stones and looking through the grass to see what insects they can find!

See lots more bug themed crafts and activities on our bug and butterfly themed activity calendar. 

Kids need to get outdoors and this bug hunt activity is a perfect excuse to go and explore. They might also enjoy trying a few of our outdoor art activities. 

Activities don't need to be complicated, sometimes the simplest things are the best! Kids can be kept busy for hours as they search the garden for little minibeasts! Why not grab a few books from our bug and butterfly book list and learn about some of these little insects. 

Young children love minibeast themed activities and going on a bug hunt is a great way to engage with them and follow their interests. After you have found a few bugs why not make a few bug related crafts? Toddlers and preschoolers will love our 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' craft and older kids might enjoy our copy and colour printable bug colouring pages! Whatever you decide to do, have fun!
