10 CREATIVE NATURE STICK CRAFTS FOR KIDS


We love the fall season for encouraging kids to play and create with nature finds from the outdoors like leaves, twigs and sticks. It’s our favorite season when the weather turns cooler, but not too cold to explore the changes in colors and get excited for a new school year and fun holidays like Halloween. Collect twigs and sticks with your kids to make these creative crafts like musical instruments, yarn string ornaments, frames, mobiles and more to hang up as beautiful fall decorations.
