ABSTRACT
Minibeasts, like mathematics, can be found everywhere. Turn some of practitioners’ outdoor area into a minibeast haven. If they are adding a pond or even a bowl of water, be aware of safety issues for young children. Create a cosy, creepy corner where the children can crawl inside to look at fiction and non-fiction books on minibeasts. Children can use tweezers to find as many minibeasts as they can in one minute. They can lay out their finds, count them and group them into sets. They can discuss their findings with their friends and finally can record, by drawing, their own collection. Children are often surprised when they learn that a spider is not an insect. Insects have six legs but spiders have eight. Add fiction and non-fiction books about worms, spiders, bees and other bugs.
