A pop-up insect museum for your space. Children rotate through five hands-on stations built around play, sensory exploration, and curiosity.

  • Insect Dress-up. Costumes that support body, movement, social, and imaginative play.
  • Bug Search. Plastic insects hidden in a large fabric play mat with logs, leaves, and hiding spots.
  • Light Table Play. Translucent shape matching, vintage slides, light-table insects. (Classroom supplies the table.)
  • Build-a-Bug. Felt insect parts on a board — mix-and-match four identical sets.
  • Insect Exploration. Magnifying glasses, real specimens in child-safe containers, fossils, and entomologist tools.

Pricing varies by half-day vs. full-day and travel distance — inquire for a quote.
