Where we live there are plenty of bugs for my son to explore with. That is why I am glad to introduce him to this bug playground to build from a box outside. He will love it.

The moment I tell my son about this he will start checking under the rocks in no time for cool bugs. Did I just say “cool” bugs!? #boymomlife

Your kids will have a blast giving the bugs their very own playground made from a cardboard box. You will need the following supplies, and the instructions can be found easily on the website:

  • Supplies
  • Empty Green Kid Crafts Box (or a shoebox)
  • Construction Paper
  • Tape
  • Scissors
