Design a Bug Hotel

Let’s attract some bugs!

We know that there are many little ones that are fascinated with creepy crawlies, so what could be better than the opportunity to create their own bug hotel to provide them with a home? Once decorated, the bug hotel can be placed in the garden to be observed throughout the year. The common mini beasts which will be attracted to this type of hotel are bees, ladybirds, spiders and woodlice.

Building a bug hotel has many benefits for children to learn about the natural environment. The hotel will provide bugs with a safe space to shelter, lay their eggs, raise their young and take refuge from any predators. Another benefit is that can enrich your garden by potentially attracting wild bees and other insects to perform the important job of pollination, which could increase the yield of fruits and vegetables in your garden. Children will be able to go outside at any point throughout the year and observe what is happening, opening up conversations, asking questions and learning.

This set includes a weatherproof bug hotel, 50 wooden pieces, child friendly glue and a set of instructions to help create your masterpiece.
