Did you know our African Anteater loves to eat ants and bugs and all sorts of insects? It uses its long, sticky tongue to lap up to 50,000 insects a night from inside termite mounds or underground ant nests.

This week let’s explore our gardens and see what kinds of bugs and insects we can find.

Benefits include: Observations skills, learning about nature, early maths through “data collection” and “analysis”, fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination from ticking/crossing off on the list, language development as you explore and talk about texture, colour, shape and size, learning how to be gentle with other living creatures and also learning the names and habits of different kinds of insects, where do they live? What do they eat? And why are they here?
