The goal is to head outside and spend some time in nature. Look for items to collect – leaves, flowers, seeds, etc. Make sure you have permission to take the items. (Many parks and nature reserves have rules about collecting.) Find items in your own backyard. Pick those dandelions and clovers! Find a pinecone or acorn. Ask if it’s okay to use a few flowers from the garden.

After collecting the nature items, it’s time to create. Use the printables to guide your nature arts and crafts. What will you make first? A nature mosaic or nature people? Will you dress up your toys with a nature cape or fairy wings? Each activity comes with step by step instructions with full color photos of project examples.

Yesterday, I picked two of the activities to try out with my kids (two neighbor kids joined in as well). We did the Nature Dress Up and Play activity which includes making crowns and masks.

Here’s the beautiful mask example from the Nature Arts and Craft printable pack.

Here are the masks my son and his two friends made. I love the pops of color and their uses of symmetry.

I also printed out the Nature Fine Motor Art for Lily. She enjoyed using a glue stick and squeezing a bottle of glue along the lines. Then, she added nature items she collected.

Here is the project example from the Nature Arts and Craft printable pack.

Here is an action shot of Lily working on her version.

I absolutely love all of the activities. I plan on printing many of them to take with us on our family road trip/camping adventure this summer. The nature journal is top of the list.
