This free printable grasshopper and the ants coloring pages will keep kids engaged in productive activity while also learning about these insects through an old popular story. The grasshopper and the ants is a fable written by Aesop.

It illustrates that on a cold winter day, when ants were resting in the warm sunshine, a grasshopper came to them and begged for food.


The ants asked him why he didn't store the food in the summer for the harsh winter, to which he replied that he didn't have any time as he was busy writing and singing songs before realizing anything.

The summer was gone. The ants told him to sing and dance now as they turned their backs on him and went to their work.

The moral of the story is that a person should work hard and plan for the future.

The story clearly depicts the reality of these insects' lives, where the ants are hardworking and store food for themselves for harsh seasons, while other insects like grasshoppers do not. Did you know?

Ants are one of the strongest organisms in relation to their size. They can carry 50 times their body weight.
