Provide a warm welcome for garden wildlife with the SES Creative Build Your Own Insect Hotel.

It’s a wonderful project that combines building with learning about the local ecosystem.

The set includes pre-cut wooden pieces, glue, and a brush to assemble the hotel structure. The next part of the adventure is to head into the garden to forage for natural materials like twigs, pinecones, and straw to fill the different rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions

The kit contains pre-cut wooden parts for the hotel structure, a glue applicator, a paintbrush, and an information sheet. The natural filling materials - such as twigs, pine cones, and hollow stalks - are foraged by children from the garden, which is part of the hands-on learning experience.
Hang or position the finished hotel in a sheltered spot in the garden, ideally facing south or south-east and at least one metre off the ground. Placing it near flowering plants increases the chance of attracting bees, ladybirds, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
Adult supervision is recommended throughout assembly, as the kit involves glue and small wooden parts. The age guidance is 5 to 12 years, and the information sheet helps children choose the right natural materials for each room once the structure is built.
