Free Insects Worksheets for 1st Grade

Ages 6–7

Insects make up the most diverse group of animals on our planet, and their tiny world is endlessly fascinating to young children. Insect-themed worksheets harness this natural curiosity by weaving butterflies, bees, ladybugs, ants, and caterpillars into meaningful academic exercises. Children might add spots on a ladybug to practice arithmetic, follow the stages of metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly in a sequencing activity, or color a detailed dragonfly while developing fine motor skills. Studying insects introduces foundational science concepts like life cycles, pollination, and ecosystems in a way that feels like play rather than study. Kids discover how bees help flowers grow, why ants work in teams, and how a caterpillar transforms entirely. Our printable insect worksheets cover math, reading, creative coloring, and problem-solving challenges, all tailored for preschool through third grade learners.
