As the school year winds down and the long, sunny days stretch ahead, many parents ask the same question: How do I keep my little ones engaged and inspired at home?

This summer, turn your home into a creative nature lab with beautifully designed toys and decor that double as imagination fuel. Our new Studio Roof insect collection is a perfect place to start—vibrant, easy to assemble, and full of storytelling potential.

1. ✨ Nature Meets Art: Wall Decor That Sparks Wonder

Hang the colourful butterflies, dragonflies, and beetles from Studio Roof around your child’s play area. Each one becomes more than just decor—it’s a character, a conversation starter, and a new friend in their imaginative world. Encourage them to name each one and give it a story. Is the Emerald Beetle a shy forest explorer? Maybe the Honey Bee trio runs a secret garden café?

2. 🌿 Create Your Own Insect Journals

Pair your Studio Roof wall art with simple, open-ended craft supplies. We love our eco crayons, coloured pencils, and recycled notebooks for this. Kids can:

  • Sketch their favourite Studio Roof creature

  • Write a short story or comic strip

  • Add leaf rubbings or pressed flowers they’ve found outside

These journals become a record of their summer adventures and a keepsake for years to come.

3. 🎨 Craft Pairings for Rainy Days

Not every day will be sunshine and picnics—so when the drizzle sets in, bring the outdoors in with themed crafts:

  • Dragonflies → Watercolour wings

  • Bees → Recycled cardboard beehives

  • Beetles → Tin foil or tissue paper collage creatures

Add in a few of our Honeysticks paints or tender leaf accessories to round out the crafting fun.

4. 📖 Bedtime Tales With a Wild Twist

One of our favourite ways to wind down the day is with an impromptu nature tale. Here are some story prompts to try:

  • *"The Brave Dragonfly Who Couldn't Fly"

  • *"How the Bees Found the Hidden Flower"

  • *"Rainbow Beetle and the Lost Leaf Kingdom"

Use their Studio Roof characters as the heroes in these bedtime adventures. They’ll be asking for another story (and another beetle) tomorrow!

5. 🛒 Shop the Summer Creativity Kit

We’ve bundled our favourites into one easy set to inspire play all summer long:


This summer, let playtime be about more than just passing the hours. Let it be about exploration, creativity, and a little magic from the natural world. Your child’s imagination is waiting to take flight—will you join them?
