Create a welcome home for garden wildlife

This delightful DIY craft kit combines Paddington's gentle charm with a love of nature, featuring a pre-built wooden bug hotel adorned with charming Paddington stencil designs. Children can bring their favourite bear to life with vibrant colours whilst creating a functional sanctuary for garden insects like solitary bees, ladybirds, and other helpful wildlife.

The wooden bug hotel comes ready to paint with sweet Paddington stencils that guide little hands through the decorating process. With six bright, safety-tested paints and a paintbrush included, everything needed for this engaging project is provided. Once completed, the bug hotel becomes a wonderful addition to any garden, encouraging children to observe and connect with visiting insects and learn about the important role they play in our ecosystem.

Created by Robert Frederick under official licence, this craft kit embodies the spirit of discovery and kindness that makes Paddington so beloved. Just as Paddington himself is always curious about the world around him, this project nurtures children's natural fascination with wildlife whilst teaching them about caring for nature and the environment.

Suitable for children aged 3 years and up
