How to Create a Fun Yosemite National Park Camping Curriculum | DIY Firestarter

Finally, look at how to make these diy firestarters.

DIY Fire Starters

You will need:

  • Muffin tin
  • beeswax pellets
  • wax paper
  • candle wick

Nature items:

  • Pinecones
  • Small twigs
  • Fresh or dried herbs
  • Dried orange slices
  • Dry tree leaves
  • Whole dried cloves
  • Whole cinnamon sticks
  • Whole star anise
How to Create a Fun Yosemite National Park Camping Curriculum | DIY Firestarter

First, gather up all your items for kindling like the nature items listed above.

Some of them work for the functionality as well as giving your firestarter a pretty look.

If you’ll be using sticks and twigs, clean off the dirt and break them into small pieces one to two inches long.

Then, cut small pieces of wax paper that are slightly larger than the cup of your muffin tins.

I recommend using standard muffin tins not mini for your firestarters.

How to Create a Fun Yosemite National Park Camping Curriculum | DIY Firestarter

Next, stuff each muffin cup with your dried materials as well as some fresh herbs if you like.

Be sure to fill each one well to give your fire enough material for kindling to get it going.

How to Create a Fun Yosemite National Park Camping Curriculum | DIY Firestarter

Cut a 2-inch piece of candle wick and place in the center of each cup.

How to Make DIY Fire Starters

You don’t have to worry about it being perfectly straight.

Just use the materials that you stuff the cup with to help it stay up. Leave 1/” to 1” above the level of the muffin tin cup edge.

How to Create a Fun Yosemite National Park Camping Curriculum | DIY Firestarter

Melt beeswax pellets in a heat safe container preferably with a pouring lip like a measuring cup.

Start with 1 minute, and then repeat every 30 seconds stirring between each until they are completely melted.

How to Create a Fun Yosemite National Park Camping Curriculum | DIY Firestarter

Carefully pour the beeswax into the mold right up to the edge of the muffin tin.

Set them aside and let them harden completely.

How to Create a Fun Yosemite National Park Camping Curriculum | DIY Firestarter

Once set and hardened after a few hours remove them carefully from the muffin tin.

If some of your wax has leaked out under the paper and makes it stick just flip the muffin tin over.

And run it under warm water for a minute and it will soften it enough to pop out.

How to Create a Fun Yosemite National Park Camping Curriculum | DIY Firestarter

Once removed continue to let them dry and harden for another day or two before using or storing in an airtight container.

You can carry them along on your camping trip in a pretty basket, a wide mouth mason jar or a Ziploc bag.

To use:  Place a firestarter at the bottom of your fireplace/pit and stack some logs on top. Light the wick and let the fire starter burn until the wood catches.

Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers- Felt Leaf Sachet

You will need:

  • Felt- fall leaf colors
  • Embroidery floss
  • Large eye needle
  • scissors
  • Cotton stuffing
  • Essential oil
Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

You may wish to also purchase a thimble to help protect their little fingers.

First, cut your felt into smaller squares, slightly larger than the size of the leaf you would like your child to sew up.

You will need 2 pieces for each leaf. I have linked some precut squares above that are great for this.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Holding both pieces together, draw a leaf shape with a permanent marker or free hand, and cut out both leaf shapes at the same time so they are perfectly matched.

You can of course make these any size and shape.

Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

I recommend starting small, like no larger than 4”, and with a very basic oblong, or oval shape.

The more complicated shapes with lots of turns may frustrate those little beginning hands, save those for once they improve their basic stitches.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Thread a long piece of embroidery floss onto the needle and knot the ends together.

And double knot over the top of the first to make it larger so it won’t pull through the felt.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

You can choose thread that matches or contrasts, I love the contrast of thread against a different color felt.

Hold both leaf pieces together and show your child how to press the needle carefully through one side and out the other, pulling the thread all the way taut but not so tight that it gathers up the felt.

Have them continue around ¾ of the way.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Stuff with a little cotton filling.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Use a pencil to fill corners and any longer skinny sections.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Continue sewing the rest of the way around, knot the end close to the felt, and then cut off any excess threads.

Make Cute Felt Leaf Sachets For Fall Leaf Crafts for Preschoolers

Once finished you can scent it by adding a few drops of essential oils to the felt and refresh it as needed.

These felt fall leaf sachets are wonderful used for dramatic play or displayed around the house.

They can even be attached to some twine to create a lovely handmade swag for the mantle or bookshelf.

How to make a chalk pastel bird nest easy drawing. Also, you’ll love this Free Bird Unit Study and Lapbook And Fun Edible Bird Nests.

.A chalk pastel bird nest easy drawing project gives your child some creative freedom in recreating some of the most common types of bird nests as they learn about them.

While they are a bit messy, they are wonderful for creating soft and hard lines as well as blurring, they are very forgiving.

How to Make a Chalk Pastel Bird Nest Easy Drawing

They can be made from natural materials like sticks, twigs, hay, grass, and leaves but they will also use scraps of string, cloth, paper, and plastic bits that humans leave out.

There are many different types of nests but most fit into 1 of 5 categories -cupped (or half-cupped), cavity, pendant, scrape, and burrow and these are the ones we are going to explore here.

Types of Bird Nests

  • Cup- a cup-style nest is the most seen, it is a cup-shaped build that offers eggs some protection and still allows momma bird to sit on her eggs. They are usually built on the fork of tree branches but will also be built on the ground, in bushes, and even in porches and barns. Tiniest cup nest belongs to the hummingbird at about 1”.
  • Cavity- Just as the name implies this Nest is made inside the cavity of trees, bird’s houses, and in the cavities of building structures such as chimneys. There are roughly 85 different bird species that use this method like woodpeckers, wood ducks, and owls. Some birds create their own cavity while others use already-formed openings.
  • Pendant/Suspended cup- This type of nest resembles a hanging sack. It can either have a cuplike structure or a tunnel shape with openings throughout.  Weavers, Orioles, Sunbirds, Swallows, and Martins are the most common tenants of this style.
  • Scrape/Ground- Killdeer, Ostrich, and the arctic Tern as well as a few other birds find that making their nest by using or making hollow depressions in the ground.  They use little or no nesting materials, commonly it would be down feathers, grass, and weeds.
  • Burrow- Some birds use a burrow for a nest like the puffin, kingfishers, kiwi, and the burrowing owl. They prefer it for maintaining an even temperature as well as protection from predators and weather. They often use a hole that was dug and abandoned by other animal species.

After researching and deciding on the types of nests they want to draw, have them lightly sketch out the outlines.

Your kids will love these simple wind energy activities and this DIY anemometer. Also, look at Middle School Hands-on Science : Extreme Winds + Free Minibook and Free Weather Unit Study for Kids Who Love Hands-on Learning.

Simple wind energy experiments are super STEM projects for kids of all ages to learn about engineering, problem-solving, alternative forms of power, and so much more.

I have a diy anemometer tutorial for you using simple items you are likely to have around your house already.

Too, I have suggestions for other activities, books, and other resources to help make it a full and wonderfully educational study.

Before you begin you may want to start with a simple explanation of what is wind.

5 Simple Wind Energy Activities For Kids & Fun DIY Anemometer

What is wind? Wind is the movement of air that is caused by the uneven heating of the earth by the sun. You can see it or grasp it but you can’t feel it.

Sometimes the wind is violent ripping trees from the ground, sometimes it is gentle as it blows gentle breezes across your face on a hot summer day.  

Wind is the largest source of renewable energy in the United States.

We use its energy to sail boats, fly kites, and dry our clothes outside.

Also, we can capture its power and use it as a clean and renewable energy source for many things.

5 Simple Wind Energy Experiments

  • The Weather Science: Build a Wind Turbine experiment looks like loads of fun and will really help simplify understanding how wind can be captured and used.
  • Preschoolers will love this Wind Tunnel Stem Project and I like that it utilizes everyday objects so there is nothing special to buy.
  • Wind Energy STEM Activity: Building your own model Windmill
  • DIY Wind Car: Science Lesson & Fine Motor Fun
  • This Mass Producing LED Powering Wind Turbines in a Kid’s Workshop is a little more involved than the others and requires more supplies. It is perfect for the older child who needs more challenges.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, Young Reader's Edition

Now a Netflix film starring and directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, this is a gripping memoir of survival and perseverance about the heroic young inventor who brought electricity to his Malawian village.When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land.Retold for a younger audience, this exciting memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation, one boy's brilliant idea can light up the world. Complete with photographs, illustrations, and an epilogue that will bring readers up to date on William's story, this is the perfect edition to read and share with the whole family.

Wind: Discover Pictures and Facts About Wind For Kids! A Children's Weather Book

Wind Energy is an inexhaustible and clean source of energy which comes from the wind itself. It constantly replenishes itself and is perfectly usable as a natural source of power. It does not involve any water during its production and produces minimal pollution at the same time. Even after the installation of wind turbines, operating costs are very minimal. The fact that the wind blows all the time without stopping is another plus point of wind energy. Also, since it is naturally renewable, wind energy is eco-friendly.

Finding Out about Wind Energy (Searchlight Books ™ ― What Are Energy Sources?)

Did you know that the same wind that messes up your hair can be used to create energy? How exactly do you harness the wind? And what is the effect on the environment? Read this book to find out all about wind energy.

  • end with a party school to celebrate the ingenuity of the one young boy!

Finally, look at this DIY anemometer so you can measure wind speed.

How to Make a Anemometer

You will need:

  • 6 small paper cups
  • 2 paper straws
  • 1 unsharpened pencil
  • Hole punch
  • Stick Pin
  • Hot glue gun/sticks
  • Small rocks, beans, or playdough (weights)
  • Fan
5 Simple Wind Energy Activities For Kids & Fun DIY Anemometer

First, punch 4 holes in your cup, 1 on each side.

And line them up as closely as you can with pairs across from each other.

We will run straws through them later.

5 Simple Wind Energy Activities For Kids & Fun DIY Anemometer

Depending on the size of your hole punch and straws used you need to make the hole larger by overlapping an extra punch or two.

Slip your straws through each direction and center them in the cup.

5 Simple Wind Energy Activities For Kids & Fun DIY Anemometer

Use a sharpened pencil or other pointed object to poke a hole in the bottom of the cup large enough for a pencil to fit in.

5 Simple Wind Energy Activities For Kids & Fun DIY Anemometer

Slip your pencil, eraser first, through the hole in the bottom of the cup.

Let it rest beneath the intersected straws.

Push your pin through both straws and into the eraser as far as you can.

5 Simple Wind Energy Activities For Kids & Fun DIY Anemometer

Now, you want to attach 4 cups to the 4 straw ends.

Be sure to place them all in the same direction.

Add a little hot glue to one side of the cup near the lip, hold it in place until the glue is set, and move on to the next one.

5 Simple Wind Energy Activities For Kids & Fun DIY Anemometer

Now put it in the base.

Hot glue the unsharpened end of your pencil into the bottom of the cup and hold until set.

Then add a weight like rocks, beans, or playdough to hold your anemometer down.

5 Simple Wind Energy Activities For Kids & Fun DIY Anemometer

You can take your anemometer outside and measure the wind’s speed by counting how many times it goes around in one minute.

If there is no wind, you can set it in front of a little fan indoors and count the rotations.

You can see in this video here that we experimented with different wind speeds by changing the fan speed.

As the cups catch the wind it makes your anemometer rotate.

Too, mushrooms don’t have seeds.

Instead of seeds, mushrooms have spores which drop from their gills.

Mushrooms are a type of fungus. There are many kinds of fungi like molds and crusts.

And mycelium is similar to the roots of plants.
