Completing the Activity

Introduce the bugs: Take a moment to browse the worksheets together. Talk about the different bugs featured and their colors. This sparks curiosity and gets your child excited about the activity.

Match the numbers and color words: Locate the color key at the top of the worksheet. Find a section of the bug illustration with a number on it. Look at the color key and find the matching color. Time to grab that color and start filling in!

Bonus Tip: For younger children, consider using a crayon to color the color words on the color key before they begin coloring. This can help them identify the correct color if they can’t read color words.
