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:
