Create a welcoming home for garden visitors

This delightful craft kit brings together two wonderful childhood experiences: the joy of creating with your own hands and the excitement of discovering nature's smallest visitors. The pre-built wooden bug hotel features charming Elmer stencil designs across its sides, front, and back, ready to be brought to life with the six bright water-based paints included in the kit.

Once painted and placed in the garden, the hotel's bamboo tubes provide perfect hiding spots for solitary bees and other beneficial insects. Children will love watching for tiny guests checking in to their colourful creation, turning each garden visit into a moment of discovery and pride in their handiwork.

Featuring the beloved patchwork elephant created by David McKee, this kit combines screen-free creativity with gentle nature education. The water-based paints are safe for both children and visiting insects, making this a project that connects little ones with the natural world in a meaningful way.

Suitable for children aged 3 years and up
