DIY Bug Catcher with Upcycled Juicy Juice Bottle

Summer is starting to wind down. I have been looking for a few more family fun ideas to do before school starts. I found this DIY Bug Catcher idea on the Juicy Juice website and knew it would be perfect for us to do because we are surrounded by woods. This is the perfect time to safely look at the bugs up close and personal. Dustyn had fun gathering items to put in the bug catcher and hunting for bugs.

DIY Bug Catcher with Upcycled Juicy Juice Bottle

Supplies Needed:

  • Empty Juicy Juice Bottle
  • Screen
  • Electrical Tape
  • Nature Items
  • Bugs
  • Box Cutter

Instructions: 

Using the box cutter, cut a rectangle in the side of the bottle.

Fill the bottle with leaves, sticks, rocks, grass, anything bugs like to crawl on.

Tape on a small piece of screen to cover the opening. For our bug catcher I used electrical tape because it seemed to stick the best.

Next open the top and catch bugs. While the bugs are inside your container talk about them with your kids. What kind of bug do your kids think they are?

Once you are all done, let the bugs go back to their natural habitat.

Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point and the water was too cold for me to get in but just kept dipping my feet in the water to cool down. Unfortunately I got a terrible headache in the afternoon so had to cut the trip a little short. Next time I need to remember to bring medicine. Not sure what’s been going on lately but the last few days I have gotten headaches in the afternoon.

Ariel singing and dancing. She asked me to put red Ariel singing and dancing. She asked me to put red hair color in her hair so she could be Ariel 🧜‍♀️. The red from the front is already going away. Swipe to see her singing a song. Also, the last photo is of the banana bread I made yesterday. Check my reels for the recipe. So good.

Happy 4th Birthday Annelyn Jane. 

Also, side note. This balloon gave me so much trouble. The first one I bought got lost at her birthday party because a kid was running through the park and got his arm stuck on the string and away it flew. So I ordered another one to be delivered today and the package came sliced. So I had to put a bunch of tape on it and I still had to be quick with photos because it kept losing air. 🤦🏻‍♀️
