What better way to spend an afternoon than go to the forest in search of leaves and flowers with your children. After having collected it, you can make a photo frame with plants that you have collected. With my son we were investigating the garden of my mother's house (something very similar to a forest) that is full of flowers, leaves, trees and aromatic herbs of all kinds. My son enjoyed every second of this activity.
It is a great opportunity for children to learn and observe the changes that occur in nature, dried leaves, fallen flowers and pochas, flowers that have just opened, aromatic herbs and their scents ...
This is one craft for family practice in which everyone can participate and bring your artistic touch.
Everything you need
- A bag to collect your leaves
- Adhesive paper (aironfix type)
- Scissors
- Photo frame (you can use whatever you have at home), if it has better glass.
How to do this craft with your child
- Go outside, park, forest, garden ... wherever you know there will be beautiful leaves and flowers with a variety of colors.
- When you get home, leave the sheets on newspaper spread on a table to examine everything you have collected. You can separate the leaves by colors, shapes, sizes, smells ...
- Cut two pieces of adhesive paper of the same size, if you have chosen a photo frame in which you are going to put your collage, you have to ensure that it is about five millimeters smaller than the frame so that it does not protrude.
- We take off the adhesive paper and hook our sheets. When they are well glued, we take off the second piece of adhesive paper and carefully hook it onto the first.
- We put it in our frame and we have it ready to decorate a wall, put on a bedside table, make a gift to Grandma ...
