This weekend we made a bug hotel. I drew some plans. Then we searched the garden for things that bugs might like to make a home in; broken terracotta pots, logs, bamboo, straw and leaves. I built up layers of different things. Daddy cut some bamboo, and I put them in a pot.
This is my bug hotel.
I also joined the buglife, which is a conservation trust, they sent me some lovely posters.
