Model Insect Kits – Great Gifts for Kids

Children Learn about Nature with Model Insect Kits

It’s great when kids can have fun while learning! In fact, don’t you think that’s when they learn the best?! Most children have a fascination for insects, but unfortunately these days they don’t have that many chances to encounter them “in the wild.”

These model insect kits will teach your child about entomology, and your child will have a great time assembling the insects!

You’ll find a terrific assortment of kits featured here. There’s a great variety of styles, materials and prices to choose from, so you’re sure to find the perfect one for your child here.

Wooden Insect Model Kits

Choose from several different insect types for these wooden puzzle-style kits. The pieces are numbered to help with assembly and the puzzles can be successfully tackled by 6-year-olds and older. Each one has a large color picture to work from. Choose from a gadfly, praying mantis, cicada, cricket or ant.
