“Eco Bug was different to any incursion we have had before. It is very educational and the children learnt lots of valuable information. The interactive screen really got the children’s attention, and the music and dancing were also great as it got the children involved.”
St Anthony’s Early Learning CentreMinchinbury
A beautiful program. The garden encouraged the children to explore insects and their habitats to foster a simple understanding of biodiversity. The highlight was releasing the butterfly into the natural environment. Highly recommended.

We loved having our butterfly garden. It was a great way for children, families and educators to observe the life cycle of a butterfly up close. Helen was wonderful, gave us all the information we needed to look after the caterpillars and butterflies. Thanks Helen 🦋

What a fabulous time we had here at Wallaby Street with the Eco Bug team. Our children enjoyed the whole experience and are still singing the Eco Bug tunes and making the Educators dance. We will definitely be booking in some of the other shows in the future. Thank you team. Fantastic.
