Spring is a beautiful time. The weather starts are warming up and the kids are starting to run around outside again! 

It also means lots and lots of bugs are coming back. 

Learning about bugs is usually a lot of fun.

Doing bug crafts is a great way for kids to learn about bugs, their bodies and what they do. 

Here are our favorite bug crafts for kids.

Ladybug Corner Bookmarks

These super cute ladybug bookmarks are origami corner bookmarks with cute colorful ladybugs on them.

I think it’s the double-layered wings.

You can even get our free printable ladybug template in our craft resource library.

Ladybug Toilet Paper Roll Craft

This little ladybug is made from a toilet paper roll! 

Using a bit of red and black craft paper can turn everyday objects, like this toilet paper roll, into a cute little bug to play with!

It’s a good way to teach kids fun ways to reuse and recycle items around the house.

Bumble Bee Bookmark

This bumblebee bookmark tutorial shows you how to make a corner bookmark using simple origami folds.

Then you can use the printable bumblebee template to create a buzz-worthy little bee to decorate the bookmark with. 

We love these kinds of crafts in the springtime when the flowers are blooming and we’re learning about the importance of the pollinators.

Another fun bug craft is this felt bee craft! 

This is a fun beginner sewing craft for older kids. 

We provide the entire template and tutorial, simple download, print and cut out the pieces.

Pom Pom Caterpillar Craft

These fun pom pom caterpillars are a great bug craft for younger kids. 

Using only a few pom poms, a leaf cut out and some googly eyes, you end up with an absolutely adorable little caterpillar. 

You could make quite a few of these cute little guys very quickly.

Plus is a cute way to practice color sorting and learning color patterns.

Popsicle Stick Dragonflies 

These popsicle stick dragonflies are a cute popsicle stick craft that kids can make.

You can paint the popsicle stick or cover with some decorative tape and add a set of wings and googly eyes. 

They would make cute magnets (simply glue a small magnet on the back and stick on the fridge) or a fun way to decorate a kids room. 

I know dragonflies are one of my kid’s favorite kinds of bugs! 

Dragonfly Craft for Preschoolers

This dragonfly craft is great for preschoolers.

Spider Paper Plate Puppets

These adorable spider paper plate puppets are made from paper plates and pom poms! 

We also threw a bit of pipe cleaners in there for their legs. 

The fun thing about this little bug craft is that kids can play with the paper plates afterward.
