Craft Time With Nature Nuts

Take a look at some of the artistic pieces made by our Nature Nuts participants this past fall!

Nature Nuts Craft Examples

Woodland/Fairy Houses 

Children take a nature hike to collect natural materials found along the trails or shorelines to construct their own woodland/fairy houses.

Children’s Garden Scarecrow

As a team, children work together to build a scarecrow for our Children’s Garden. They stuff the arms and legs of old clothing with hay from the farm and add their creatives touches to the shirt and make the face.

Leaf Crowns

While on a walk in the woods, kids collect the fallen leaves to make their leaf crowns.

Bird Feeder using pine cones

Children collect pine cones, cover with peanut butter and roll them in bird seed, and attach a string so it can be hung for the birds to enjoy.

Other crafts include Leaf Critters, Decorated Pumpkins, Turkey Creation using natural materials, Rainsticks and Luminaries.

More craft activities to come in Spring 2021.
