And one of the best reasons I love doing fall nature crafts is that abstract ideas like leaves changing your child can see. Nature crafts make ideas concrete for younger learners.
Even older children love to take a break and be creative when the weather is crisp.
Did I mention when you have multiple ages you’re teaching that nature crafts are budget friendly?
Step into your backyard and if you have a park where you’re allowed to take a few leaves that have fallen you have budget friendly materials.
One of my favorite parts of doing this seasonal is that you can create seasonal memories.
HOW TO MAKE A PUMPKIN NATURE COLLAGE
Next, here is another idea to add to your nature crafts and it is a pumpkin nature collage.
First, look at this easy list of supplies.
- Cardboard base
- Sticks (to form the pumpkin outline)
- Leaves, helicopter seeds, or other natural items for filling in the pumpkin
- Acorns, bark, or other brown nature items for the stem
- A green leaf for beside the stem
Collect nature items.
Go on a nature walk and gather nature items like sticks, leaves, helicopter seeds, acorns, bark, and a green leaf.
Make the pumpkin outline – Arrange sticks on the cardboard in the shape of a pumpkin.
Fill the pumpkin.
Place colorful leaves, helicopter seeds, and other nature treasures inside the outline to fill the pumpkin shape.
Add the stem – Use acorns, bark, or other brown items to create the stem at the top of the pumpkin.
Finish the look – Place a green leaf beside the stem to complete the pumpkin design.
Display & play – Leave the collage on display as a temporary art piece, or take a photo before the items get returned to nature.
