Insects Arts and Crafts Ideas

Every spring my children and I love sitting in my front yard and spotting colorful butterflies fluttering around, hearing bees humming on newly blossomed flowers and seeing brightly colored ladybugs on the leaves of plants. It always sparks our creativity so over the years we’ve created quite a collection of insect crafts. If you love exploring insects during the spring season like us, you are going to love these amazing insects arts and crafts ideas.
