Natural Tree

This is a really nice activity to get children outdoors, even if only for a short while. 

Age Group: 2 years (with help) to 10 years
Estimated Time: 15 to 30 minutes
Messiness: Medium

Materials:

• A4 white cardboard paper
• Brown crayon
• Different types of leaves
• Flower petals
• Blades of grass
• Pritt glue
• Scissors

Method:

1. Go into your garden and pick different types of leaves - I got hold of 6 different types.
2. Pick a small, brightly coloured flower.
3. With scissors, cut off a few blades of grass.
4. Use the brown crayon to draw a tree trunk and some branches - as you can see, I am no artist!!
5. Using normal Pritt glue, glue the leaves onto the branches, the blades of grass individually at the bottom of the tree trunk and the flower petals on the other side.
