Hello,<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember that I wrote about how we can write about any animal if we follow this pattern:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. It should start with an important fact about the animal. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
2. It should tell what the animal looks like.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
3. It should tell where the animal lives.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
4. It should tell what the animal eats.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
5. I<\/span>t should end with an interesting fact about the animal or the writer’s own feelings towards the animal <\/span>\ud83d\ude0a<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
I used this pattern in my insect worksheets. I provided information about some insects and a spider\u00a0<\/span>\ud83d\udd77\ufe0f<\/span>(a spider is not an insect as it has 8 legs \ud83d\ude0a) and I provided worksheets for children to write according to the above-mentioned pattern. I believe that it was good practice for teaching children how to write about any animal be it an insect, a marine animal, or a reptile. If you don’t know what I am talking about and are new to my website, please check out my insect worksheets <\/span>here<\/a><\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
However, children will not be able to write about an animal if they don’t know anything about it. This is why I provided bite-size information about some animals using the concept of double-sided flashcards here<\/a>.<\/b> However, I had made those flashcards for older children in grades 2-3 but I received feedback that parents and teachers needed animal flashcards for younger children where the information is not very complicated and can be easily absorbed. Hence, I started working on these very cute flashcards for preschoolers. This is part 1. I have covered 15<\/span><\/b> creepy crawlies\/bugs in them. I have kept the information very, very simple and with no complicated information as the flashcards are meant for preschool-aged children.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Tell your children the difference between insects and arachnids. A simple explanation will do as these are little kids. An insect’s body is made up of three parts whereas an arachnid’s body is made up of two parts.<\/span><\/b> An insect has 6 legs and an arachnid has 8 legs.<\/span><\/b> They don’t need more information at this age.<\/span><\/div>\n
I sincerely hope that you like this effort. Please share them with your friends and family and tell them about my work as my resources are 100% free. The link is given below.<\/span><\/div>\n

Creative Writing using these Flash Cards:<\/span><\/h3>\n
Remember to use these cards to make the children talk about animals using the same pattern as I have given above. They need to not only learn about these insects but also present information about them verbally so that they become masters at creative writing from a younger age.\ud83d\ude01<\/span><\/div>\n
