Painting with nature
These beautiful mini bouquets are fun natural paintbrushes!
Go for a nature walk and collect some “paintbrushes”. Leaves, flowers, pinecones, branches. Gather what Mother Nature offered and wrap it all together with a rubber band. Let your child examine, feel, and smell, their new art materials.
Then tape down some paper, grab some paint, and let them see what lines and patterns the natural bundles make!
Happy painting!
