Give your child the chance to explore the fascinating world of insects these school holidays with our 2-hour outdoor program! 

They'll investigate why some bugs are brightly coloured while others blend in, discover how bees see, and learn about the wonders of invertebrates.

Activities include: 

  • Eye-opening nature walk focusing on the role of insects in the environment

  • Nature games and art activities 

  • Learn how to make cordage and create your insect hotel
