Activity of the Week: Make a Nature Collage

Have your students get crafty this week and make a nature collage! Choose one day to head outside to gather natural materials. Remind students to pick items from off the ground, not off the plants. Items can include: 

• nuts
• leaves
• bark
• pebbles or small stones
• twigs
• flowers
• feathers 
• seeds

There are several ways to put a nature collage together. You can use cardstock, cardboard, inexpensive canvas panels, or even wood as a base for the items. Older students can use low-temp glue guns to affix the items. White school glue will also work, but it requires drying time overnight. 

Now get outside, and get creative!
