We have been busy this week building bug houses. We talked about how creepy crawlies like to live in small spaces and making them a bug house like this might help them to survive the weather and stay safe from predators and maybe have babies. The children decided that these houses would be best for spiders and maybe some ladybirds.

The children used cardboard tubes as their ‘walls’, then stuffed it with natural materials, such as grass, twigs, moss and leaves. This sounds like a cosy bug house to me!
