A ‘minibeast’ is simply a small animal. Officially, minibeasts are called invertebrates, which are animals without a backbone. Examples of these 'creepy-crawlies' include spiders, snails, slugs, beetles, centipedes, worms, earwigs and caterpillars. This category contains sites that feature activities for very young children about minibeasts. Examples include coloring pages, stories, songs and games.
