Join us at Giggles Te Puke Early Learning Centre to make your own bug hotel to take home!

Bug hotels are a fun way to help increase your garden's biodiversity and have fun crafting with recycled materials. Urban gardens are often very tidy and clear of all the stuff insects like to make their home in, like dead leaves, branches and other natural materials. By constructing a bug hotel, you are ensuring there is a safe, dry place for our native insects to nest in within our cities, and as an added bonus, some insects can be very beneficial to your garden too!

For $15 per bug hotel we will provide you with all the materials you need to help you construct your bug hotel out of wood.

To help speed things along, please feel free to bring your own hammer, screwdriver and/or electric drill (we have the nails and screws you will need, but only have a few hammers and screwdrivers for everyone to share).

Please be aware some wood we are using is recycled from pallets so splinters are a possibility especially for small hands. Please bring gardening gloves if this is a concern.

This workshop is suitable for both adults or children 8 and above. Children 8- 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

Every Bug hotel being made will require an adult to assist in the making.
