Backyard sorter
A small wooden bug hotel with hand-painted insect tiles — children sort the snail, beetle, butterfly, ladybug and others into the hotel's chambers.
Best for ages 4 to 9
Sized and weighted for hands that have stopped grabbing and started arranging. There are small parts in most of our sets, so they are not for children under three. From roughly four onward, children can set up the play scene themselves, take it apart, and put it back — which is most of the play.
What is inside
- Wooden bug hotel house
- Set of painted insect tiles (snail, butterfly, beetle, etc.)
What we leave out
- Not a real insect-house or habitat — purely a pretend-play sorter
- No live insects
We choose pieces that look like the real thing and let imagination do the rest. No batteries, no flashing lights, no app, no built-in story to follow.
Care
Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Store indoors away from prolonged moisture. Hand-finished wood and natural fibers may show slight variation in grain, weave, or paint — that is the nature of the material, not a defect.
Fine print
This is a pretend-play toy, not real outdoor, gardening, or field equipment. Sourced to meet ASTM F963. Adult supervision recommended for small parts. Not for children under three. Operated by OMELVA LTD, registered in England & Wales — Companies House N° 17185873.
