Natural Arts and Craft Items
There is nothing better than the great outdoors to give you and your little one wonderful natural arts and craft items.
Natural items lend themselves to lots of creative ideas for nursery rhyme crafts. From the trees and flowers often found in the verses, to items to create the fun animal characters.
You can also take the opportunities to talk with your child about nature, the importance of taking care of our world, the cycle of life, or how things grow.
A walk with your child in the great outdoors opens up a world for all sorts of phenomenal conversations.
A walk in the back yard, the park, the beach, around the neighborhood can offer up lots of opportunities to collect great and unusual items to use in your next project.
So grab a basket the next time the two of you go out for play or a walk and see what amazing things you can gather.
