Invertebrate Crafts for Kids

Did you know there are over 1.3 million known species of invertebrates? Most are insects, as is the case with the invertebrate crafts tutorials I've done. My crafts are also heavily skewed toward bees, butterflies, and spiders, but you'll find plenty of other invertebrates, including jellyfish, caterpillars, octopuses, and more.
