Nature-Inspired Crafts for Kids

Whether you gather supplies in your neighborhood or at the crafts store, your kids will love bringing the outdoors inside with these easy natural crafts projects featuring supplies found in nature.

Tiny Museum

Your child can use this bell jar, made from a 2-liter soda bottle, to protect fragile nature finds and delicate sculptures. Start by cutting the top 6 inches or so from a clear 2-liter plastic bottle. Clean any glue or printing from the bottle using Goo Gone or a similar product. Remove the cap and cover it with bakeable polymer clay, forming the clay into a decorative knob. Bake the knob, with the cap, according to the clay package's instructions. Let it cool, then place it onto the bottle. Use a cork trivet as a base, if you like.
