Niomi's Mini Beast Zoo...

I have 2 very different daughters. One is all unicorns, fairies and magic…the other all snails, woodlice and worms. Niomi loves her minibeasts and she recently co-hosted a Zoom presentation to some of the family all about her favourite creatures. She’s far braver than the rest of us too – no qualms about handling her garden delights and always keen to rescue any insects that get stuck in the house. A future zoologist or entomologist in the making? Possibly. Welcome to Niomi’s mini beasts zoo…

Pleased as punch with the start of the Snail house
