Better Bug Pots - Pack of 10

Say goodbye to squabbles over the only bug pot. This pack of 10 Better Bug Pots ensures everyone gets a turn! Each clear plastic viewer comes with a 2.5x magnifying lid and a 5mm squared measuring grid in the base, giving young scientists a focused view of the natural world.

Whether it’s for a forest school mini beast hunt, a tuff tray small world, or a science corner investigation area, these pots are built for curious minds and busy EYFS settings. Children can collect specimens like ants, leaves, or even pebbles, then observe them closely. Perfect for sparking questions, comparisons, and some seriously engaged conversations.

The 5cm diameter is ideal for small hands, and the clear sides make it easy to observe from every angle. Use them to support science enquiry skills, observation, and early classification. They’re perfect for Understanding the World EYFS activities, early years science experiments, or a deep dive into seasonal or topic-based learning.

From “What does it eat?” to “Why does it move like that?” These pots prompt the kind of big, open-ended questions that define early years science. Great for child-led learning, outdoor classrooms, and encouraging respect for living things.

Why not pair with our Bugsville Hive, Minibeast Discs - Set of 10, or Nature Station - Worktop (H)60cm?
