This bugs and insects themed color sorting activity is perfect for spring, but it can be used at other times of year.
These pages are great to go along with reading a favorite book like The Backyard Bug Book. My daughter loved this book when she was younger and still enjoys bugs and insects!

Cut out the colored images. There's no need to "fussy cut" around each and every edge. I recommend cutting the pieces into tiles or circles. You can also cut out the jars, if you want.

Store the pieces in a small task box to keep the activity safe for next time!
