The tiny creatures in our gardens Family activities

Often invisible to the naked eye, or well hidden underground, various tiny creatures are hard at work beneath our feet! They are in fact responsible for the fertility of the soil…

Make time to look at them together. Magnifying boxes and butterfly nets in hand, our little budding gardeners will discover the essential role insects play when they examine the creatures they have managed to capture. The busy lives of insects, whether solitary or living in large colonies, will constantly surprise you; their world is amazing and mysterious!

Handling them is also the best way to combat prejudice. The aim of this tour is to help children and their parents towards a better understanding of these tiny creatures so as to achieve a gradual change in attitudes… and perhaps even eventually persuade them to coexist happily with each other!

This tour is aimed at families with children aged 6 – 12.
Nets, magnifying boxes and a little explanatory booklet are provided.
