COLLECT Gather materials for your bug hotel. Almost anything can serve as a home for bugs, but natural materials are best. Look for rotting branches, bark, twigs, pinecones, dry leaves, bamboo canes, logs, hay, and straw.
BUILD Look outside for the perfect place to build your hotel on flat ground. Ask an adult to help you lift heavy materials.Space bricks evenly on the ground, then stack some old wooden pallets on top – build carefully, you don’t want your hotel to fall over!
FILL Get creative and fill the gaps between your pallets. Start by adding larger materials like pots and branches, then gradually fill smaller spaces with things like pinecones and hollow plant stems. You can use straw and cut grass to fill very tiny gaps.
DECORATE Add the finishing touches to your hotel. Make a sign and plant nectar-rich flowers like daisies nearby – they’re the perfect treat for bees and other pollinating guests. Then sit back and watch your tiny friends move in.
