For a simple and fun outdoor family project, how about building a bug hotel? This video gives you a quick how-to for an easy outdoor project using yard waste and other items you already have lying around, to build a neat little shelter for frogs, ladybugs, and other insects.

Why build it? Insects are a part of the world we live in and sometimes they are rendered homeless by old buildings being torn down or their natural habitats being destroyed. This project recycles old materials and gives bugs a place to stay. Once guests start “checking in” you’ll have a variety of wild critters to observe. It could even be used as a school science fair project!
