Description
Kids practice sorting, develop eye/hand coordination and build the muscle control they’ll need to start writing—as they scoop, sort and examine our lifelike bugs! Our kit includes 40 plastic bugs in 4 different species, plus 4 easy-to-control scoopers. Kids just use the 7" scoopers to pick up bugs, then sort them into 4 clear-view, labeled jars. There’s even a magnifier built into each lid for up-close observation!
Item # JJ247
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.

Great for Science

March 11, 2025 - By Erinfrom Costa Mesa, CA

My TK class loves these bugs! It is a great way to introduce them to several different bugs. They love to sort them as well and it really helps with their fine motor skills!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

This was a great product; we have a lot of 3-year-olds that need fine motor. The kids enjoy bugs and use to classify, pattern, and used scales to compare.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Bubble tongs and Bugs are the BEST!

March 30, 2024 - By Andrea from Rochester, NY

I’m always looking for more ways to use tongs in our PreK classroom. It is great fine motor, pre-writing work for those little hand muscles. The bubble tongs are a favorite! Children can pick up a variety of little treasures and view them in the bubble or dump them. The bugs are colorful, a good size, good quality and sorting jars just add to the play possibilities and learning!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Perfect for Preschool Bug Theme

December 25, 2023 - By Carol Schmidtfrom Wildwood, MO

The Scoop-A-Bug Sorting Kit is absolutely perfect for a preschool bug theme or for a preschooler to use at home. It gives the child practice in fine motor skills as well as sorting. I love it! I've had my eye on it for awhile and finally decided that I wasn't going to wait to purchase it any longer. I'm glad I've got it now!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Math Centers

July 22, 2023 - By Suefrom CA

I use these for sorting and counting for math centers. It helps them with fine motor skills too. My blinders love them. I have them count each set to make sure they are all there before switching to a new center since they are so small. They could get easily lost but it helps counting them each time.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
