Place plastic bugs in a bin along with random other shaped toys. Like don't get bugs and little people animals.  In my bug jar there are insects (3 body parts) and then spiders and caterpillar.  The three part insects would be insects and the spiders and caterpillars are not insects.


I left a link for a printable page to sort insects and not insect, but I might just write one :)

I think I will just glue small red pom-poms on small clothes pins.
