Hunt for bugs

Finding Insects with Phillip Howe 2

Another cracker day... looking for some out door free fun? We were shown by Phillip Howe from the SC Musuem how to hunt for bugs a few months back... take a roasting dish, hold it under a Cabbage Tree and give it a shake - when we did it we found a TREE WETA at the Otipua Wetlands! Playing outside as we all know is so important... I see heaps of FB posts reminding us that children who play outdoors regularly are more curious, self-directed and likely to stay with a task longer. So hopefully our posts give you some inspiration for different kinds of free fun to find in the Timaru District. What will your WuHoo be today?
