    Nature Hunt

    Nature Art Scene

    This adorable and easy craft project uses all-natural materials your kids can collect while out enjoying nature.  It’s so much fun to watch your kids choose their own different outdoor materials they like and learn to press leaves for this arts and crafts activity. 

    You will quickly see and definitely enjoy just how easy this nature art is to make.  Kids of all ages (including parents and grandparents) will love creating this easy craft after going on a nature walk and coming home with the outdoor treasures they want to keep and decorate with.  

    I have found that this nature art for kids project is a fantastic way for me to get my kids off their screens and into the great outdoors.  It allows them to play naturally, all while utilizing those creative little minds of theirs. 

    This nature art is the perfect project for a beautiful spring or summer day.  So get ready to take your kids outdoors and let those decorating ideas flow!  I know you will enjoy creating lasting memories with your family while making this nature art for kids' 3D flower craft as much as we did!

    Supplies Needed For Nature Art

    • Elmer’s School Glue
    • Leaves, twigs, flowers, and grass from a nature hunt

    How To Make 3D Flower Craft

    The most exciting part of this craft is going on a nature hunt to collect supplies. You can explore your own yard. Simply go for a walk, or even to the park. While you are out collect some twigs, leaves, flowers, and grass, or any other exciting pieces of nature you find along the way.

    glue on a leaf

    Start by adding glue to the tips of your leaves.

    glue leaves into flower format

    Glue the leaves tips in a circle to create a flower shape.

    add pollen as middle

    Add glue small flowers to the middle of the leaves.

    add glue to paper to make nature flower

    Next, add a glue strip down from the leave flower as well as along the bottom of the paper.

    Grass Art

    Glue twines and greenery to paper

    Add blades of grass to the strips of glue.

    glue them to bottom for nature art

    It creates a stem for the flower and grass to your nature art.

    Add glue to paper in a firecracker formation

    Next you can create another beautiful flower using twigs. Add glue to your paper.

    Add each twig to the glue

    Place each twig that you have broken into similar sizes onto the glue.

    Add

    We love how by gluing them into a circle, it brings new life to the twigs.

    glue flowers to middle of twigs

    Glue small flowers to the middle to create another beautiful 3D Flower.

    Glue single twig in the skie

    When I think of flowers, I always think of the beautiful and delicate butterflies that like to visit them. You can add a pretty butterfly by gluing a stick to the cardstock.

    add rolls of glue around stick

    Adding glue to each side of the twig to create a butterfly shape.

    attach petals to other sides of stick

    Place your beautiful flower petals on each of the sides of the stick to create the wings.

    add flowers to top of butterfly

    Pull the stem off of a dandelion flower, and break it in half to create antennas.

    small purple flowers

    I found a wild hyacinth on our walk, and pulled some of the blue bell shaped petals.

    add glue to top of petals

    We then glued them to the wings.
