Nature Crafts

Teach kids --your own children, students ,campers --to become resourceful, creative , and appreciative through nature crafts  and projects . Every environment, from the dry desert to the fertile mountains, provides us with materials and inspiration for unique and fun crafts. Try out these holiday  and seasonal nature crafts  to evoke the spirit of the season, learn  about the environment, decorate  classrooms, refrigerators, and bedrooms, or pass time on rainy days  in a constructive, fun way.  Go to an arts and crafts store  and buy materials  (glitter, glue, jars, paint, gems, etc.) to keep on hand for spontaneous crafting  fun.
