Country Crafts: Build A Bug Hotel

Country Crafts: Build a Bug Hotel

Two small, handmade wooden insect houses are placed side by side on a surface. Each structure has a pitched roof and a front section filled with neatly arranged hollow tubes, designed to provide shelter for insects. The upper portions are decorated with colourful, childlike drawings—one featuring bold black and red markings, and the other displaying horizontal stripes in multiple colours. The background includes a red and blue panel, creating a simple, bright setting that contrasts with the natural wood tones of the insect houses.

Decorate and build a bug hotel, place it in your garden and see who moves in!
