Make a Bug Hotel
This is a lovely activity for children and grown ups to do together. When your hotel is finished, hopefully all sorts of bugs will move in and make their home there. We will also be making an energy giving medicine that sick bees can take and feel strong and well again.
Encourage your child to understand the importance of bees. Explain the pollination of flowers and crops and why it is important to the food chain. Talk about what might happen if there were no bees.

Chalk Pictures
Let’s use our chalk boards to draw pictures of Arthur Bee and Bertie Butterfly. It is easy and fun to do.
This is a lovely creative activity which takes very little time to set up and can keep children occupied for hours. This activity encourages children to develop their motor skills such as hand control using the chalk. Develops - Physical, Creativity, Understanding the World and Communication and Language skills.
