“It’s adorable!”
“It’s super cute to put outside your home and the kids love looking within to see if we have any new occupants. It’s become a new beacon in our neighborhood for other kids to stop by and look at as well.”
“This is a really nice group activity that involves nature. The whole family can get involved – or it can be an independent project for one child. Once it’s built, the fun doesn’t stop – you get to continually observe for any bugs in the Snug Bug Inn!”
