Encourage native bees to visit your garden with your very own native bee habitat! Bees play an important environmental role in pollinating plants and this is a great workshop to learn all about them.

Children will make their own native bee habitat using various natural and recycled materials as well as learning how to safely use tools such a drill and hammer to help develop fine motor skills.

Our native bee habitats are good for hibernation and breeding in warmer months.

This workshop is run by Alison, a primary school teacher and bush playgroup facilitator who has been running weekly outdoor workshops at Arthurs Seat for 8 months. Alison is passionate about getting families outdoors, into nature and learning all about our natural environment and it’s creepy crawlies.

Our school holiday program aims to inspire creativity, a natural curiosity and enriching sensory play experience while following your child’s interests at all times. We also ensure that children learn to use their bodies so that they develop strength, good balance and coordination while learning to take safe risks with guidance and support from the educators.
