Cut and paste nature art activity

January 14, 2018 by Kate 3 Comments

If your looking for a quick set up activity that will engage and entertain children of all ages, then get them to do this cut and paste nature art activity. It’s a wonderful way to get them outdoors, into nature and thinking creatively.  

Cut and paste nature art activity

It’s holidays at the moment *ahhhh* and whilst I love the relaxed nature of these days, I do actually find my girls crave me directing them to an activity. 

You know me, I love to keep things totally simple and so I sent them outside and into the garden to collect bits and pieces, such as a variety of leaves, twigs, flowers, bark etc and use them artistically.

Sometimes they will carefully place them in decorative patterns on the ground, however on this windy day, we decided to cut and paste them to paper.

Recommended age: 1 year +
(Strict and active supervision is required at all times)

Getting out into nature

Nature is incredible and it isn’t until we venture outdoors that we can find the variety of leaves, sticks and flowers that can be found in our own environment. It’s a lovely way to expore and get up close with nature. Children learn about – 

  • colours
  • size
  • texture
  • and more

Possum (aged 5 years) and Boo (aged 2 years) love to look at nature with a magnifying glass and be able to spend time examining the different features of what they have found. Adding their collections, which they have carefully gathered from the garden, and pasting them to paper makes it possible for them to look at them over time. 

Making this a cut and paste activity is also great for their fine motor skills and developing their skills in pasting something to paper.
