🐝Bee mud kitchen🐝
World Bee Day is on the 20th of May and I have plenty of downloadable resources to help you celebrate. From mud kitchen recipes, nature themed activities, bee hunts, lifecycles, outdoor area planning and so much more.
Comment ‘bees’ and I’ll send the link to the folder on my website.
The mud kitchen recipes are such good fun. Try making some bumblebee cupcakes with mud and nature or a bee energy smoothie with muddy water and nature! Tag me if you try any 🐝, I’d love to see 💛
For petals and flowers, look in the reduced section of supermarkets for older bunches that will be thrown away or ask friends/relatives for any that they have finished with 💐

Our caterpillars arrived this week and we have a gorgeous observation area using a mix of resources from the website. See the folder in Topics ➡️ Bugs/minibeasts ➡️ Butterflies & Caterpillars or comment ‘caterpillars and butterflies’ and I’ll send the link to this section over.
It’s such a lovely process watching them develop into butterflies and finally releasing them into the wild 🦋🐛
