Yeah, it's warm outside! So, get the kids out of the house and into the backyard collecting all sorts of fun things for earth-friendly craft projects.
Here are ten from www.familyeducation.com
- Twig Vase
- Fork Flowers
- Nature Bracelet (I love this one. Wrap masking tape around the wrist and stick on leaves and twigs....)
- Wind Sock (using an oatmeal container)
- Eggshell Mosaic
- Newspaper Leaf Prints
- Rock Necklaces
- Wiggle Worm (made with egg cartons and paper towel rolls)
- Potpourri Pinecones (scented with cinnamon and nutmeg, yum!)
- Painted Nature Pictures
Have fun! And remember to join us at Udder Market in Maple Plain every thursday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. starting July 7. Besides shopping for fresh produce and artisan wares, look for our vendors offering Calve's Corner activities for the kids. We'll be making our own nature bracelets and rock necklaces!!
