πŸͺ² Bug Hotels & Bug Life Cycles Workshop

Advertisement

Free β€’ Ages 2.5 to 6 β€’ Parent attendance encouraged

Join us for a hands-on, nature-loving morning where we’ll become backyard entomologists! Children will build their own mini bug hotels using natural and recycled materials β€” perfect for creating safe little shelters for pollinators, beetles, and spiders right outside your home.
As we create, we’ll explore the fascinating life cycles of three different creatures:
β€’ πŸ› The moth β€” from egg to fuzzy caterpillar to fluttering wings
β€’ πŸ•·οΈ The spider β€” egg sac to tiny spiderlings and web-building wonders
β€’ πŸͺ² The beetle β€” larva to pupa to shiny armored adult!
We’ll use felt models, stories, and visual charts to help children understand metamorphosis and insect behavior in a way that’s engaging and age-appropriate. The children will get to touch, sort, and build, making this a rich sensory experience that connects science with art and practical life.
This workshop encourages:
✨ Curiosity about nature
🧠 Scientific thinking
πŸ‘ Fine motor development
🌱 Respect for even the tiniest creatures
Each child will take home their very own bug hotel made by you and a simple life cycle mini-book to continue the learning at home.
