Science is our favorite subject!!! We love exploring nature and learning about bugs, plants, trees, mushrooms, birds and more. I started this board for the kids last year and it is finally starting to fill up with bug specimens. It will be a continuous work in progress as we find more bugs to add.
I attached the bugs to a poster board using pins that way they can easily be removed and examined under a microscope. Smaller bugs like the lady bugs, spider and larva were glued onto a smaller piece of white or black paper and pined to the board. I printed up the names and scientific names for each and placed them under the bugs.
I took a piece of bee scrapbook paper and placed it in the middle of the board and used my Cricut to make the title "Balman Bug Board". I used some bug stickers to decorate the black sheet of paper around the words.
A full shot of the board is in the middle of the collage (the going buggy text is part of the collage photo). I included some close up shots for you as well.
*No bugs were harmed in the making of this board. They were ALL already deceased.
Are you afraid of bugs? If so which ones?

We didn't create a bug specimen board when we studied flying creatures, but I kind of wish we had. Thanks for linking up to Science Sunday!
