Arts And Crafts Ideas For Kids To Enjoy Nice Time
If you are searching for ways to keep your kids amused, have a look at these arts and craft ideas. Kids like to make things and it is much better when Mom or Dad or both join in.
Autumn is a nice time for taking the kids out into the woods to collect nuts, cones and leaves for their craft work. You will be surprised at how many arts and craft ideas are inspired by nature. You can spray cones and leaves with silver and gold paint and try them to make table decorations or perhaps Christmas wreathes for the door. Nut wreathes are a great alternative to commercial Christmas wreaths and may be eaten later on if the kids can wait that long.
Buy some unshelled hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts and brazil nuts and collect a few ivy leaves to include some greenery. You will also require some varnish, glue, small sized paint brush, wire and a ribbon. A glue gun would be useful but it is not a necessity. Paint the shells of the nuts with some varnish to bring the natural beauty. You may also varnish the ivy leaves and leave them to dry whole night.
You can create the wreath base by twisting some small branches together into a rounded pattern but you can also purchase ready made ones very inexpensively as well. Work your way around the wreath attaching the nuts in position. It is sensible to use the larger nuts initially and then use the smaller hazelnuts to allow fill in any existing gaps. Use and vary the different colors to make the wreath look nice. Decorate with the ivy leaves and finalize with a stylish ribbon. The children will have a nice time putting this altogether and will be excited when people stop to appreciate their handiwork.
Arts and craft ideas can turn into gifts also. Any nut lovers would like to receive the above wreath as a present for the holiday season.
