Why Kids Love These Bug Coloring Pages

Bug coloring pages pair perfectly with a spring or summer science unit. While kids color, talk about how many legs insects have, what bees do for flowers and why ladybugs are a gardener's friend.

Fun Ways to Use These Printables

• Count the ladybug's spots and legs – insects always have six legs.
• Talk about pollination while coloring the busy bee.
• Read a caterpillar picture book and then color the caterpillar page.
• Go on a bug hunt in the garden and tick off the bugs you find.

Printing Tips

• Print on US Letter or A4 and choose "Fit to page".
• Use thicker 24lb/90gsm paper or light cardstock for markers.
• Crayons and colored pencils work great for little hands; gel pens for older kids.
• Select black & white printing to save ink.

Age range: Ages 3-8. Friendly smiling bugs – perfect for kids who are a little nervous about insects.
