Crafts & Activities for Kids

Bug crafts are a fun way to get kids exploring nature while creating with their hands. From simple ladybugs and butterflies to outdoor projects, there’s so much to try—but one favorite is making a bug hotel. Use a small box filled with sticks, leaves, bark, and pinecones to create a cozy space for insects. Kids love collecting materials and checking back to see who’s moved in, making it the perfect mix of craft and outdoor learning.
