Bug Hotel Wordsearch
This wordsearch is all about sports!
You will need:
How many of these have you played or tried?
• Some thing from the recycling to make the hotel structure with –
e.g. a milk or juice carton, a plastic bottle
• Scissors
• String
• Gardening gloves and a bag to collect twigs, leaves, stones etc
Method:
1. On your daily walk, keep an eye out and collect things that would
make a great bug hotel – bugs like leaves, twigs, stones, moss and
loads of other natural things. They like a big variety!
2. If you are using a milk/juice carton, cut away one of the sides so you
have a three sided hotel with a roof
3. Put your collected items inside your hotel, any way you like! There is
no right or wrong
4. Once your hotel is nice and full, find somewhere in your garden,
balcony or window ledge to place it.
5. Don’t forget to go and check it after a few weeks to see who’s
staying in your hotel, be careful though, you don’t want to scare
anyone away!
