Body parts of an insect build a 3D bug science craft activity

Explore the parts of an insect by making these 3D bug crafts! Students will cut out a head, thorax, abdomen, legs, antennae, and wings before folding and gluing to assemble their craft. The completed insects can then be mounted onto cardstock.

Use as a spring classroom activity, as part of an insect unit/study, as a hands-on alternative to a science worksheet, or even for a bulletin board display.
