The wonderful world of insects and mini-beasts

This charming wooden puzzle brings the fascinating world of insects right into little hands with a beautifully crafted bug hotel. Thirteen common garden creatures find their perfect home in this delightful educational toy, each one carefully illustrated and matched with its wooden counterpart.

Children can meet the friendly snail, graceful butterfly, spotted ladybird, fuzzy moth, stripy caterpillar, wiggly worm, busy spider, bumble bee, hopping grasshopper, buzzing fly, impressive stag beetle, delicate dragonfly, and shiny scarab beetle. Each bug is beautifully crafted from wood and fits perfectly into its illustrated silhouette, creating a satisfying shape-sorting game that teaches both names and recognition.

Made by Tender Leaf Toys from sustainable rubber wood with their commitment to plastic-free play, this bug hotel opens up conversations about nature, wildlife conservation, and the important role insects play in our gardens and ecosystems.

Suitable for children aged 3 years and up
