Nature craft is always a wonderful way of getting up close with nature - allowing us to discover something new about the world we live in that is amazing and ever-changing!
Gumnut babies/people/critters are easy to make and fun to put together. These guys may not last the test of time - but the exploration and discovery is half the fun - which is important to remember when you find your beautiful creation missing its head in a matter of minutes!! Here’s how to put these little gumnut babies together: 1. Collect and Explore - head out to the garden and gather all sorts of nuts, sticks, seeds, rocks. 2. Make - pick out a head and body - let your imagination run wild on what your gumnut evolves into. You can often use sticks to connect the head and body together, otherwise use non-toxic quick drying craft glue. 3. Add - use sticks to your Gumnut as arms and legs. Feathers, leaves and petals can make great wings. Illiarie caps make awesome hats. 4. Play - your little creation may like to feature as a character in stories, could be placed in the fairy garden, or become the newest member of your dolls house. Or, they may fall apart before they make it that far - but gee, they’re fun to make :-)
