Cones, leaves, dried flowers, pebbles and shells are the best materials for creativity and exciting experiments. They are completely safe, without plastic and dubious dyes, and you can collect them during the next walk in the park. We found lots of beautiful and easy natural craft ideas for elementary school!
1. Figures with toothpicks
Almost any animal and even people can be collected from acorns and chestnuts. And it is convenient to connect parts and make legs, arms, tails, paws and necks from chopped toothpicks.
2. Crafts from bark
Due to its natural texture, the bark itself looks very interesting. Use seeds and acorn caps to make this magical Hogwarts owl.
3. Volumetric paintings with leaves
The drawings look very beautiful, some parts of which are lined with voluminous leaves. For example, hair, feathers, mane, or scales. The pictures themselves can also be made independently or you can use ready-made blanks.
4. Chestnut wreath
You need a round and wide enough base, glue and more chestnuts. Just evenly paste over the wreath with them, collecting them on it in large beautiful bunches.
5. A hut made of branches
It is easy to assemble the frame and walls of a real wooden hut from branches and plasticine. And the roof can be beautifully covered with small dry leaves.
6. Stand of branches
Another option for beautiful handicrafts from branches requires a little preparation. Inflate the balloon to the desired size and beautifully stick it with branches on the PVA. And when the stand dries up, burst and take out the ball.
7. Birds made of acorns and felt
A whole bird family can be made from large pot-bellied acorns and a couple of colorful pieces of felt. It is convenient to glue wings, eyes and beaks on PVA. Felt is good because it does not crumble and does not creep even in such small details.
8. Crafts from shells
Each shell has its own unique shape - and this can also be used in crafts. Take a look at what funny dogs and panda you make!
9. Leaves candlestick
A very beautiful autumn-winter candlestick will come out of a thick glass jar. To do this, it is enough to paste over it with leaves and decorate with a ribbon.
10. Crafts from straw
Even ordinary straw can be used to make interesting figurines for elementary school. For example, for such a mouse you only need eyes, a nose, a spool of thread of the same color and a little patience.
