Nature crafting with leaves

Nature crafting with leaves


We heart nature crafting.
The supplies are free and everywhere!
 Plus you get out of the house for a little pre craft adventure to gather them up.
Whats not to love about that. 

Our favorite "nature" craft supply is leaves.
Sometimes we collect fallen ones but since we live in Orange County where you cant quite tell if it really is fall or still summer we resorted to picking some live ones off a bush.

 For this project I drew a little turkey, let the kids color it in and then we glued the leaves to the back of the turkey to look like tails feathers. 

Easy peasy. 

This was Wesleys masterpiece. 
I asked him why he scribbled the turkey out with black crayon.
His response...
"Mom, the turkey is hiding under a rock." 
Of course it is. 

What are some easy craft projects you do with your kids.
