Here are a few crafts and resources to help children distinguish the difference between these two animal classifications while having a fun and relaxing summer.
Just click on the titles below to go to the pages about spiders and other arachnids.

Thanks for sharing. Myself and my husband didn't realise that scorpions were arachnids either.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. My friend that lives in Arizona has scorpions in her area. We don't see them here in the Northeast. We do see spiders! :)
