The big reveal!

Our First Bug Box, 39 Insects Collected by my kids

We are excited to share our FIRST BUG BOX! 

We made plenty of mistakes in making this collection. AND we learned more then our mistakes. That's probably why we keep doing it? We are avid bug collectors as our family hobby - Learn more at areyousureaboutthatblog.blogspot.com

Our Very First EVER Insect Collection Bug Box it only took 2 years 


These were some of the tools - totally amateur that made this bug box collection happen. 

  • Empty containers (cleaned after the nutella was gone!)
  • Pin cushion (I would use a box tho - little yucky bug bits and all)
  • Clear nail polish - that is ONLY for the bugs.
  • Nail polish remover - the poison that kills them in the bug jar (on a cotton ball- toxic!)
  • Plastic tupperware container - to hold the stages bug in an air tight lid while they "cure"
  • That PLUS Sign cut out - was for the moth balls. Now we just shave bits into the box directly . . . easier and clean.

AMI Studios Chicago

It's mostly baby girls videos and here slime making, she spends time with friends on coloring activities and make good choices while having fun. During the covid stay at home orders - she had many many many facetime pandemic playdates - we made time work for us and not be bored.

When the museums open up - we will definitely take our vlogging camera to make more videos like our first bug collection - or live pinning!! Another great way to see Insects
