This is one of a collection of bug activities that we have been sharing lately. As we head into Spring and then Summer we are going to be seeing a lot more bugs about! Children seem fascinated by the little minibeasts and it is a great theme to work with. 

Why not go on a bug hunt and see if you can find any real snails before you begin this activity? Or read some bug themed books? Or even see if you can move like a snail with our bug action cards?

This snail sticker craft is really low prep and we even have a free printable snail template for you to use. Peeling stickers is a great activity for working on fine motor skills for toddlers and preschoolers. 

Kids will love the challenge of trying to fill their snail with stickers. Some children will enjoy racing to see how quickly they can fill their snail up, while others will like to take their time carefully coming up with a design.
