Help children develop an interest in spiders and insects through spider spying adventures.
Hello Readers,
My son encountered huge yellow spiders on his trip to Iraq. His description caused us to become interested in the species of spiders in our home state. This time of year spiders have woven egg sacs and kids can find these. With the use of a field guide to spiders, students can spy on spiders and indentify the creatures whose webs they see.
Children of all ages are intrigued with spiders. A spider spying adventure or two along with the reading of Charlotte's Web by E.B. White will provide plenty of interest in the subject and make a good subject for a lapbooking project for homeschoolers.
Children can learn which spiders are dangerous and how to avoid bites. Most spiders are safe and enjoyable to observe and study. So rustle up an adventure. A field guide, encyclopedia or library books on spiders will get some interest going. Plan a spider spy trip and have some good learning fun.
