My First Bugs Colouring Book for Ages 3–5

A Friendly Adventure with Ladybirds, Butterflies, Bees & 27 More Amazing Minibeasts

62 pages | 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm)

The My First Bugs Colouring Book introduces children aged 3 to 5 to 30 friendly bugs from the garden, the pond, and beyond. Every page pairs a big, smiling character with its English name and three short fun facts, so colouring time doubles as a little nature lesson.

What’s inside?

🐞 30 bugs to colour — from familiar friends like the Ladybird, Butterfly and Honeybee to more unusual creatures like the Praying Mantis, Leaf Insect and Dung Beetle. Each one is drawn with thick, clean outlines that small hands can follow without frustration.

📖 3 fun facts on every page — short, age-appropriate sentences at the bottom of each design. Children learn that butterflies taste with their feet, ants can lift 50 times their own body weight, and dragonflies can fly backwards. The bug’s name at the top is printed in large, hollow letters that kids can colour in too.

🖍️ One picture per page — every illustration is printed on its own page with a blank back. No marker bleed-through, and your child can cut out a finished picture and stick it on the fridge without ruining the next one.

Why it works for 3-to-5-year-olds

The outlines are deliberately thick and the shapes simple, so a child who is still learning to hold a crayon can stay inside the lines and feel proud of the result. The friendly faces on every bug — even the spider — mean nothing feels scary. And because each page includes a real English word and a few facts, the book gently builds vocabulary alongside fine motor skills and pencil control.

Great for home, travel, or the classroom

Rainy afternoon, long car journey, or a quiet corner in a preschool classroom — this book keeps little hands busy and little minds engaged without a screen in sight. Works beautifully with crayons, coloured pencils, and felt-tip pens alike.
