Green fingers to the ready! This activity is all about engaging with nature as your kids work to create a cosy garden home for all their bug buddies. Create the ‘hotel’ indoors and then head outdoors to find your hotel’s perfect location!

First, wash and dry the empty juice bottle and remove the label. Help kids to cut out a rectangle shape from one of the sides.
Carefully place your natural materials into the bottle. Start with the rocks and then use the twigs, grass and leaves to make a home fit for a bug-king!
Next, carefully cut a piece from the tights big enough to cover the square hole, then stick it to the bottle with the tape. Take the foam and cut out a rectangle slightly bigger than the hole in the bottle. Cut another rectangle about 2cm inside the first, creating a frame shape.
Now, glue the foam frame over the tights, take the lid off the bottle and place it in long grass. Then wait for the bugs to check in!
