Vacation Crafts- Nature Crafts With Rosebuds

Crafting With Leaves and Rose Petals

Here’s another super simple vacation or any time craft, courtesy of my eight year old daughter! I’ll have to admit, I was eyeing the plate of rose petals that my mother had put aside to add to her “organic” recycling bin, as they were just so lovely. And sure enough, when I got up the next morning, my daughter had already figured out that with just a stapler and some rose petals and leaves, one can make some beautiful artful roses! So my friends, add a stapler and some staples to your traveling craft kit and let the kids go to town stapling leaves and petals, either to paper or just to themselves, and sit back and watch what they come up with! And on the afternoon just before the holiday of Shavuos when many children love to decorate the house with leaves and flowers collected in nearby fields (if you are fortunate to have some….) well, a stapler might just come in handy this year!

    Dearest Sara,
    how are you?
    I like the idea to use petals of roses to work with kids, I realized a deliciuos jam with petals, really good and so fragrant. I published it in my last post.
    Hug and kisses,

    Certain kids are very artistic with sidewalk chalk and other kids create eyesores. How do you tell one kid it’s fine and another not to do it?

    Some kids are very artistic and leave beautiful designs with sidewalk chalk. Others leave such eyesores. How do you tell one it’s okay and the other not to do it?

    All attempts should be encouraged, whether the results are lovely or not!The child who seems to be the least artistically inclined may just surprise you if you encourage them.
