7 Crafts Made from Nature

 

 

Summer is about sleeping in (we should tell our kids it is a summer rule: sleeping in), lazy days by the pool or beach, popsicles and lots of sunscreen.  Here are some fun ideas to help spend your summer days making some nature crafts. Enjoy!

Dipped in Gold:

Aren’t these just gorgeous?  I think you could use just about any type of kid-friendly paints. These would look pretty on display in a wooden bowl! Found on: Blabla Kids

 

 

It’s a Hoot:

My new favorite site Fireflies and Mud Pies is so cute – she has a ton of great ideas like this fun owl!

 

Make a wish little firefly:

And of course I adore this Pinecone firefly Fireflies and Mud Pies created!  Such a creative lady!

 

 

It’s an underwater party!

Such a fun idea by Creamalice!  This could take awhile and would be a fun afternoon activity. Found on Creamalice.

 

Spread Your Wings:

Isn’t this a creative way to use tree seedlings?  Lots of great ideas can be found on Filth Wizardry.

 

A new life for an old leaf:

Have the kids pick up some of their favorite leaves on your next nature walk adventure.  Then go back home to research what type of tree it came from. Go check out Learn Create Love for more fun ideas.

 

 

Tic Tac Toe:

Mom With a Prep has lots of great DIY games to recreate!  I love this bee and ladybug game of Tic-Tac-Toe that she found on Chicken Scratch NY fun blog!
