Arts and crafts projects can be a perfect opportunity to experience and learn from nature while spending time together.For example, you can make homemade play-dough from ingredients common in any home. Just combine the following ingredients:
3 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
3 tablespoons oil
1 cup water
This mixture can be divided and tinted with food coloring. Other more nature-oriented crafts include using treasures found in the yard or garden to make a collage or decorate a picture frame. Make a tape bracelet with the sticky side out and let your children inspect the yard for odds and ends they can stick to their wristband. Its a perfect opportunity to learn about seeds, plants and leaves.
