I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this in, feel free to move it if not admin
I have been given the job of helping the children fill the " insect hotel " I will try and post a picture of it. I am looking for advice on what to fill it with. The school would like it to have different materials on each compartment if possible, but I think that might be a stretch, but the more ideas I get the better. It has to be easy to do, with a range of ages from 5 - 11 actually doing the collecting and fitting. I thought of bamboo rods, but the shape of the pots slope outwards - it should still be possible though using different sized sticks. Any other ideas would be useful. Any ideas other than sticks and moss would be welcome, the more interesting and unusual the better
Thanks in advance.
A little info on what each method would attract and why would be handy too.
