Insect Shadow Matching Puzzle

Spring is here and this Insect Shadow Matching Puzzle is a fun challenge for your preschooler or toddler. Simply download, print, cut, and match. 

Some children are grossed out or scared of insects while others are intrigued and want to collect them. 

Maybe this puzzle will open up a conversation with you and your child about different insects, what they do, and how they help the earth. 

• I wonder why bees sting? 
• What does a caterpillar change into? 
• What do ladybugs eat? 
• How do ants work together? 
• Are insects good for our plants?
• Where do dragonflies life? 
• Do insects sleep at night?

 

 

Or maybe it will be just a great visual discrimination activity to challenge your child with or to keep them busy while you cook dinner. 

Add magnets to these pieces to complete the puzzle on a vertical surface such as a refrigerator or a white board.

Turn them into a challenging Memory game!

These pieces can also be used as a busy bag activity.
