This charming, interactive bug hotel is a versatile resource designed to support children in developing a secure understanding of numbers to ten through nature-inspired play in Australian ELC settings. Crafted from FSC-certified wood, the sturdy frame houses ten chunky pine cubes featuring a bee, beetle, butterfly, snail, and red and yellow ladybirds in their preferred habitats. This resource is ideal for early counting activities, allowing children to use the frame vertically or horizontally while exploring different ways to compose the same number.
Children can engage with the EYLF curriculum by practising pattern making and exploring number bonds as they arrange the bugs to represent various quantities. The chalkboard roof provides an interactive element for educators to facilitate intentional teaching moments, such as directing early counting, sorting, or classifying activities like "I fly" or "I crawl." It also serves as a visual aid for subitising and simple addition, with prompts like "Make 5" or "Show 8 + 2" encouraging children to visualise and represent mathematical concepts in a tangible, tactile way.
