<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nDo you make time for the little moments of science<\/a> in your daily routine with kids? As parents, there are opportunities around us for science if we give ourselves the time to discover them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how our family discovered a little more about Ladybugs with a chance discovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our tips for exploring science with ladybugs with your child. Here’s how to find moments to teach your child about nature through a ladybug science project. <\/p>\n\n\n Confession we have yet to discover where around a hundred ladybugs are coming from that keep arriving at our front door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, you read it right, every couple of weeks we keep have a swarm of ladybugs arrive at our front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ve noticed it tends to happen when there’s big change in temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At first I\u2019m not going to lie it was a bit weird having them crawl all over our door and entry area but then as I watch the kids eyes light with excitement I knew it was an opportunity for science.<\/p>\n\n\n We ran instead and grabbed our bug set and started to observe our ladybug visitors. It prompted many opportunities to focus on S.T.E.M <\/a>. It was a fun way to do a little science Investigation and Observation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we submitted out information to the Lost Ladybug Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now I know you might have the opportunity we did with them arriving at our house and I don’t know if it will ever happen again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So here are a few products that we plan to use to help encourage a bit more science in our home and with our after school playgroup friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve included the Amazon Affiliate link just in case you want to join us on our science journey. There are a few ways to explore ladybugs. <\/p>\n\n\n Ladybug Life Cycle Stages<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n Insect Lore Ladybug Land<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n Live Ladybugs – Approximately 750 – Plus Hirt’s Nature NectarTM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n 1500 Live Ladybugs – Good Bugs – Ladybugs – Guaranteed Live Delivery!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n Hand-painted Red Roof Ladybug House<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n Once they started arrived we turned online for research but we also turned to our local library to check out books about Ladybugs.
