I love studying insects, and so do my grandkids! And identifying insect sounds is fun for both children and adults. If you have an insect theme or unit study, don’t forget to include some insect sounds along with both fun and educational songs about insects.
The insect sounds are for children through adults, although most of the other songs here are for toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, and early elementary. You’ll find both silly songs and educational songs about insects.
See a full list of my song and educational video posts at the bottom of this post.
