I’m so excited to share this fun beetle painting activity with you today! This week, we’re wrapping up our Backyard Safari topic and today we’re learning all about beetles.
If you’ve been around for a while, then you might remember the Safari Beetle STEAM we did a few years ago. It was definitely lots of fun. This time around, we decided to paint beetles using circular objects such as corks, spools, and lids.

A huge thanks to Experience Early Learning (formerly Mother Goose Time) for providing us with their Experience Preschool curriculum for free in exchange for sharing our honest and authentic stories resulting from our personal experiences. It’s been such a huge blessing to us! As always, my opinions on awesome stuff for little kids are 100% my own.
Open-ended art activities such as this one are a great way to learn about visual arts and especially stamping with preschoolers. What happens when you dip circular objects in paint and then stamp them on cardstock?
