Have a discussion about where the beasts might live, how we can care for them etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Exploring the field collecting sticks, soil, rocks and leaves and have some children use the IPad to take pictures of any bugs and insects that are spotted. On our return to the class room the children could create a habitat using the natural materials and recreate the insect using playdough to put inside their creation.
