Nature to Art Part 2

This activity is creating art with only things you've found outside. Go on a nature walk and collect things like rocks, leaves, moss, berries(make sure they don't eat any!), flowers, sticks, ect. *remember not to pick flowers or anyone's plants. We only collect things that have already fallen on the ground. So gather up your nature supplies and arrange them into anything you want. Use tacky glue and card stock. This art work will shrivel but you can display it for a couple of days. Saetia made a dragonfly. Other ideas are butterflies, turtle, fish, crab, ladybug or spider.

Nature to Art

Yesterday was Earth Day so we've been doing crafts with things we've found in nature or around the house. The first craft we did was a simple lady bug rock. Here's what you need:
*Go on a nature walk to collect flat round rocks
*red and black paint
*googly eyes (optional)
*pipe cleaners (optional)

Have your child paint the rocks red.


After those are dry, paint on the head and spots. You can add pipe cleaner antennas or feet. We didn't add eyes, but you can paint white dots on or glue on googly eyes. We have a grandma that loves lady bugs and she might want these in her garden.
