Your own garden is a great place to start looking for wildlife, especially bugs. Below is a printable chart showing many things to look out for.
How many of these can you find in your garden this spring and summer?
How many did you find in 1 day?
Make a note of where you found each one and what it was doing e.g. sitting on a flower, eating a leaf, crawling up a tree trunk.
Please stay safe and only go into your own garden.
Try and make some of your own bugs.
Have fun.

Good morning everyone!
Fun Mindfulness Activities and Exercises for Children.
Mindful Posing
One easy way for children to dip their toes into mindfulness is through body poses. To get your kids excited, tell them that doing fun poses can help them feel strong, brave, and happy.
Have the kids go somewhere quiet and familiar, a place they feel safe. Next, tell them to try one of the following poses:
Ask the kids how they feel after a few rounds of trying either of these poses. You may be surprised.
This activity can teach children how strong emotions can take hold, and how to find peace when these strong emotions feel overwhelming.
[Now put the jar down in front of them.]
Now watch what happens when you’re still for a couple of moments. Keep watching. See how the glitter starts to settle and the water clears? Your mind works the same way. When you’re calm for a little while, your thoughts start to settle and you start to see things much clearer. Deep breaths during this calming process can help us settle when we feel a lot of emotions” (Karen Young, 2017).
The Safari exercise is a great way to help kids learn mindfulness. This activity turns an average, everyday walk into an exciting new adventure.
Tell your kids that you will be going on a safari: their goal is to notice as many birds, bugs, creepy-crawlies, and any other animals as they can. Anything that walks, crawls, swims, or flies is of interest, and they’ll need to focus all of their senses to find them, especially the little ones (Karen Young, 2017).
[Remember social distancing if you're out on a walk where there's other people!]
