Description
Enhance your EYFS outdoor environment with the Minibeast Bug Hotel. This ready-made, high-quality wooden bug habitat offers an inviting home for insects and minibeasts, encouraging close observation and discovery for children aged 3-7 years.
Designed for outdoor durability, this sturdy, weather-resistant resource helps children understand habitats, lifecycles and the role of minibeasts in nature. As children observe creatures taking shelter, they develop curiosity and empathy in their natural environment.
Encourage children to record their findings by using the Set of Chalkboards or the Set of Outdoor Dry Erase Pockets to draw or label what they discover, linking to early literacy and purposeful mark making.
The contents to fill the Minibeast Bug Hotel are supplied separately so children can work together to fill the frame with the breezeblocks, bricks, twigs, bark and straw, encouraging teamwork, fine motor skills and problem-solving. This hands-on activity allows them to explore texture, patterns, and habitats while creating a safe and engaging environment for minibeasts to shelter.
Pair this resource with the Set of Outdoor Magnifiers or the or with the Exploring Nature KS1 Enrichment Collection to support classification, comparison, and scientific enquiry. Add the Minibeast Story Book Set 3-7yrs to enrich storytelling, reading for pleasure and follow-up discussion about creatures and habitats.
