Insects and creepy crawlies open up the outdoor space in a fascinating way
Insects and creepy crawlies open up the outdoor space in a fascinating way, drawing children into the life that is going on right under their noses. Go on a bug hunt, study any finds discovered outside, brush them off and clean them up. Make a record of what’s been found by taking a wax rubbing and/or making an imprint in modelling clay. Able to fit well in small hands, these bugs will inspire children’s imagination and excite young learners in their non-fiction research. Ideal for investigative play, they can be used to inspire the making of bug homes.
