FREE Bugs and Butterflies Summer Camp for Toddlers and Preschoolers to do at Home

I’m bored is one of the most dreaded phrases for a Mum to hear – don’t get me wrong it’s good for the kids to be bored they can get creative but when they’ve done everything (or so the house looks like!) it’s always good to have a backup plan so we’re joining together with some fantastic bloggers today to bring you themed ideas for hosting a summer camp at home. Now my kids are bug mad, they hunt them, they talk about them and J from when he was 2 has wanted to be a Jungle Explorer so he can find even more – 3 years on and that is still his dream so we go for it. With that in mind, we’re helping you out with some little bug adventures with our Bugs and Butterflies Summer Camp at Home.
