We have been on mini beast hunts in the year 1 outdoor wildlife area and the school woods. We had a wonderful time exploring the pond, mini beast hotel, searching high and low for as many insects and creepy crawlies that we could find. we found ladybugs, woodlice, wriggly worms, ants and tiny beetles. The children also enjoyed listening to The Very Hungry Caterpillar story while on our little bug hunt adventures.
We made our very own lady bugs too, first we painted our paper plates red then we added the black spots.
