Description

Lessons and Materials

Using “creepy critters” as helpers, wildlife instructor, Karla Majewski, instructs her young audience about bugs, spiders, and other small creatures, like millipedes and centipedes. Children touch and hold a spider and a scorpion. They learn that scorpions have very strong pincers but that most scorpions are harmless to humans. After close contact with bugs often considered unpleasant, such as hissing cockroaches, the children feel less dislike of these creatures. Finally, Karla does not forget the role played by predators of bugs, spiders, and other “creepy critters” – predators such as frogs.
