Check out the bug boxes we made at our Creative Club for young people with disabilities or additional needs in Eastbourne

We were inspired by Victorian bug boxes, but we decided to use paper insects rather than real ones! We used templates and magazines to make our bug boxes:

A shallow box with a large paper bee, and a smaller butterfly and typewriter
Bug box with torn magazine text and a blue paper beetle
Bug box containing a collage of text and flowers from magazines and a blue paper butterfly on top
Bug box with magazines and pictures of plants and flowers, with a red paper beetle on top.
Bug box with a page from a magazine with a large photo of a small building surrounded by greenery, with a photo of a lily cut out of a magazine, and a paper bug with blue and red wings and curly antennae.
Young people sat at a table making their bug boxes. There are magazines and printed out pictures on the table, cut into pieces.
