Came here looking for fun and easy ways to engage your child with nature and crafting? Nature Net and many of our members have resources sure to keep the kids busy for a while and connect them to the natural world all around them! Crafts that make use of natural objects, or that let kids create their own versions of natural spaces, animals, and plants, help to make connections with nature and engage young minds.
