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 hands-on activities

Just purchased a new set of these bugs and sorting jars. This is a great hands-on activity for all sorts of skills-fine motor skills, math, literacy, etc. I would definitely recommend having this kit in your Pre-K classroom.

Great for Science

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!

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.

Great fine motor activity for kids! My child wouldnt leave the store without it. The scoopers, bugs and container cups can easily be reused for different activities.

Bubble tongs and Bugs are the BEST!

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!

Perfect for Preschool Bug Theme

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!

Math Centers

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.
