Fun ways to use this printable:
These free activity pages are just the beginning. There are many other ways to bring moths to life for your kids once the learning fun has begun. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Go on a nighttime moth hunt
Grab a flashlight and head outside after dark for a real-life moth adventure. Shine the light on a white sheet hung outside to attract moths. Your kids will be amazed at how many different types they can spot. They can use the observation sheet to record what they find.
As you explore, talk about why moths are drawn to light. This natural behavior, called positive phototaxis, helps moths navigate. In nature, they use the moon and stars. Your porch light becomes an irresistible beacon, drawing them in!
Remember to be gentle observers. Look, but don’t touch. Many moths have delicate scales on their wings that can easily rub off. After your moth hunt, the kids can draw pictures of what they saw!
Create a moth-friendly garden
Turn your backyard into a moth haven. Plant night-blooming flowers like jasmine, evening primrose, or moonflower. These sweet-smelling blossoms will attract moths to your garden, and as a bonus, you’ll get to enjoy their lovely scent, too.
While planting, discuss the important role moths play in pollination. Many plants rely on nighttime pollinators like moths; without them, we’d miss out on some of our favorite fruits and veggies.
Also, teach your kids more about what moths eat. They’ll be surprised that adult moths don’t always feed on nectar. Some don’t eat at all!
Make moth art
Get creative with moth-inspired art projects. Use the anatomy sheet as a guide to make beautiful moth paintings or collages. Experiment with symmetry by folding paper in half, painting one side, and pressing it together.
For a 3D project, try making moth sculptures from clay or paper mache. Using the activity set as a reference, add details like antennae and wing patterns. This hands-on approach helps reinforce what they’ve learned about moth body parts.
Don’t forget to display your moth masterpieces! Hang them up and have your child explain their creation using their new moth knowledge.
