Nature Art and Outdoor Crafting
with Shelley Sage Heart
I have been working with children and supporting moms and families for 20 + years.
I am continually inspired to nurture the heart and soul of each family I work with and have a deep respect for each individual child's creative nature and intellectual development.
Spending time outside is important I like to encourage and initiate projects and playtime that is inspired from the natural world.
Some examples of art projects are:
- Making flower mandala's
- crafting fairy dolls from plants and herbs and flowers
- garden creation and tending
- fort building
- making paint from natural materials
- basket weaving
- rock painting
- making head wreaths and flower Lei's
- making instruments and other imaginative things from the natural supplies found in nature
I find that all kinds of important life skills are learned when we see nature as a fun resource for creating and learning from. This is one of my passions and I love sharing the teachings of RESPECT and CO-CREATION with NATURE to children, offering them a foundation of personal resource and nature connection that will last a life time.
