"I want to check this out again when the kids are older - there's a lot of really neat ideas (I can only imagine how much H would love the Painter Quiver) and the instructions/supply list are really clear."
"Nature's Art Box feature "65 cool projects for crafty kids to make with natural materials you can find anywhere." It is dived into seven parts based on the materials needed. The projects include chess set, mini woodland furniture, gourd buffalo rattle, zen garden, nature journal, body paint, dried-flower fairy, nature print cards and stationary, sand-cast paperweight, and many more. Necessary art skills such as making your own paste or ink are detailed and easy to follow. Projects are marked easy, medium, or challenging. The appendix lists helpful characteristics of vines, trees, flowers, and sea creatures and how to use them. The drawings and diagrams are helpful as well as decorative.
Here's an example art skill: Painting with Petals and Leaves. p130.
Introduction: Plants will give up their colors when you simply rub them across a piece of paper. But this process is full of surprises. For example, bright pink vinca petals turn blue on paper. An orange marigold turns brown. Flowers that have petals all the same color give you clearer colors (for example, all yellow instead of yellow and orange mixed.) Leaves with a shiny or leathery surface do not work as well as soft leaves. You'll also find that the kind of paper you use can make a difference. Because there is moisture in the petals, you will need to use a heavy paper to help keep you finished masterpiece from curling at the edges.
You will need: old sheet or towel, different-colored petals and leaves, heavy watercolor or white construction paper, pen or marker, plant identification book, if needed.
How to do it: 1) Cover your work area with a sheet or towel. Pick several petals of one flower. Roll them into a small ball or fold them into a rounded stick. Use your finger to push, pull, and rub them across the paper. 2) Experiment with different kinds of plants on different kinds of paper. 3) Make a chart showing each color and write the plant name next to it. Use a plant identification book if necessary.
Recommended for grades 2 - 6 with adult supervision"
