Nature Craft

Doing this MOPS newsletter is going to force me to try some activities with my own children. They need to be "field tested," right? This is a good thing--forcing me to get creative (although this idea came from someone else's website). This is the craft we did to get a picture for the first issue. It is made of leaves, flower petals, a stick, a rock, and "weed tops" for the eyes. It turned out so cute--except I couldn't find a glue strong enough to hold the stick on. Maybe I'll be a crafting mom after all.

Hot glue would work, but I know that may not be the safest option... it would work at least for the stick, then tacky glue for the rest?

Very cute. I bet your girls enjoyed it - they liked just gluing down yarn on paper at my house!
