I don't know a boy (and some girls!) who doesn't like to collect bugs. When I was a kid I used to like to go outside and collect either lightning bugs, catepillars or ants.
Whichever bug it was I'd make their home accordingly. The most fascinating of course was the catepillars because eventually they would make a cocoon, turn into some type of brown moth, and fly away.
The ants were cool too with all the ant hills and mazes they would make. Watching them carry their food that sometimes looked bigger than they were and wondering how they did it. The world of bugs is fascinating and it's definitely a learning experience.
Click here to learn about those noisy crickets you hear in your back yard every night while trying to sleep. In addition, here is a fascinating website about bugs and crickets. They have some fascinating tidbits of information.
Here are some cool ideas for kids to make:
