Making a bug hotel

We have a small garden, but we wanted to make a bug hotel so after some looking we came across this smaller one using tins. This is the tutorial:  https://youtu.be/DcKFVmvGK_k

I decided to task my dad to making it with the children when we went to visit last week. Memories with their Grandad they will have forever ♡

We saved up used tins and had the wood lying around.

We collected some pine-cones, moss, twigs, bark and bits and bobs from our nature walks to fill the tins with.

The children learnt so much creating this with my Dad. He is a retired self-employed builder and some of the houses and things he built over the years are great so they are learning from the best.

The final product and we already have a couple bugs in it!
