This bug and insect scavenger hunt is great as a go-along with your insects theme. It provides many benefits for your student.

Scavenger hunts boost observation skills. As your child looks for objects, he will develop better observation skills.
Scavenger hunts require movements; this promotes gross motor development.
A scavenger hunt can provide safe sensory input for your student (see the dragonfly zipping through the air; listen for a grasshopper, cricket, or cicada; touch the slimy worm; smell the stink bug, etc.)
If you work on the scavenger hunt as a team, it will promote cooperation and social skills development.

Additionally, the Make it! activity will increase creative and critical thinking skills as your child has to determine how to make a bug hotel.
