Pre K Bug Theme
http://www.activityschoolbus.com/ 
 
If there is one thing that preschool aged children will always be interested in it’s:
BUGS &INSECTS!
This is such a fun preschool theme, as there is a lot of exploring and discussing when itcomes to bugs and insects. 
Some Ideas For Having Fun With This Preschool Bug Theme Are:
-make sure you have a
variety of pictures of bugs
you can correctly identify posted aroundthe room-lots of books in the library with real life pictures of bugs is another great thing to have aswell as puzzles-go to a store like the dollar store or any discount store and look for 
rubber or plastic bug toys, you can fill the bottom of a sensory bin with sticks or sand and put the toy bugs in it, thechildren will have a blast 
-ask the children what bugs they see around their home or neighborhood, and help themidentify them and find pictures of them-talk about what bugs eat, (i.e. leaves-caterpillars, dirt-worms, other bugs-spiders, humanfood-ants, etc).-
what do bees do when they land on a flower? where do they take the pollen? what happensto it? 
-simple explanations will go further than trying to jam all the details into their minds, for example you could say something like- (when a bee lands on a flower it collects the pollenup and carries to the beehive, when the bee gets to the beehive it puts it in the honeycomband turns it into honey) you could have a jar of honey with you and have the children taste it-talk about how we need bugs around us and we
shouldn’t step on bugs when we see them,we should leave them alone and watch what they do,
maybe one day we can try and follow ithome?-some teaching resource stores sell
little science kits with kid friendly microscopes
that havealready made up slides with bugs and other things in them for the kids to look at
