Make a mini beast trap

Set a kind trap that will let you get a close up look at lots of creepy crawlies.

What you need:

• An old yogurt pot
• A small plate
• Three large stones
• A trowel

1. First, find a small patch of ground in your garden.

2. Dig a hole big enough to drop an old yogurt pot into.

3. Next, place two or three stones (flat ones work best) around the edge of the hole.

4. Carefully balance a small plate across the stones covering the hole. (This will make sure no rain water gets in.)

5. Then WAIT and SEE!

Remember! Make sure you check the trap every day and release the mini beasts back into the wild.
