28 Fun Nature Activities and Crafts for Kids

Updated on by |

No matter what the season is nature crafts for kids are always a good idea and they’re the perfect excuse to get outside too. You can look for leaves and pine cones in fall, flowers in spring or summer and even in winter when things seem a bit thin on the ground you can always go and do a bit of rock hunting.

Like most parents I try to encourage a love of nature in my kids and I think that getting hands on with nature is the best way to do this.

It’s also a lot cheaper to use a pine cone you found in your backyard to craft with than it is to spend loads of money buying new materials!

All the crafts I’m sharing today use natural materials and are inspired by nature with seashells, rocks, leaves and flowers all taking a centre stage.nature crafts for kids easy…

Paint Splat Paper Plate Butterfly Craft

by | 3 Comments

I love easy crafts for kids, the ones that all ages can get involved in and this simple paper plate butterfly craft uses a paint splat technique to make a (almost!) symmetrical craft that looks fantastic.

It’s perfect for spring or summer and as it has really basic materials that a lot of us have at home already it’s perfect for when you need to come up with an idea in a hurry and without another trip to the shops.

Using a paint splat technique means that toddlers and preschoolers can join in with this activity while older kids will be able to help with the cutting.
