Kid's Nature Art

My kids love to go on nature walks. We've done a couple projects during the fall with stuff collected on walks, like pine cones, acorns, and other fall matter. I saw this idea in this month's Family Fun magazine to draw a stick figure on paper and dress it up with nature's garments. I was excited to do this during a different season. I really thought we had enough growing in our own back yard to forgo the blazing HOT walk around the neighborhood, but no, the children insisted.

She took apart the wheat-looking grass and used the seeds for hair

Careful, meticulous placement of the Impatiens Petals

Chives (chopped) for hair. I really loved this idea.

Stunning


The girls' works of art: Angel Fairy on the Left, college graduate wearing a loin cloth on the Right???


And a couple more composed along the way. Mine on the left....I had such fun doing this project! And the girls made another batch the next day.
