Summer is here, and you're bound to be spending more time with the children at the park, the countryside or the beach. While you are out and about, gather together some natural treasures to use in art and craft activities.
'Nature art' is a great way to make the most of all those lovely pebbles, shells and twigs that children love to cart home, as well as bringing back memories of your day out.

All age groups can create a 'nature weaving', and it will look fabulous hanging in the kitchen or hallway.
You will need: a rectangle of sturdy card (a large cereal box is about the right size); ready mixed paint; small sponges; several pieces of string or natural coloured wool; white PVA craft glue; a collection of long, thin items such as flexible twigs, feathers, flowers with stems, leaves, grasses, sheep's wool
