Big Book of Nature Art (Thames & Hudson Ltd)

Featuring twenty-one easy craft projects using natural and recycled materials, The Big Book of Nature Art is a fun and eco way for young children to connect creatively with nature. From bestselling author Yuval Zommer, The Big Book of Nature Art is packed with twenty-one easy art activities inspired żeby nature. Each of the activities can be achieved in four simple steps using natural materials combined with recycled or found materials from around the home. Drawing on Zommer's years of experience running art workshops for children, The Big Book of Nature Art includes his tips for stress-free ways to get creative with kids. Each nature art activity requires no more than five minutes set-up and five minutes clean-up, making them easy to achieve and fun for everyone involved. The book also encourages children to see the creative potential in the natural and everyday treasures all around us - from twigs, seed pods, petals and leaves through to loo rolls, pencil shavings, takeaway cutlery and kitchen string. Little nature artists will enjoy making Paper-Plate Birds; Leaf Bugs; Coffee-Cup Owls; Tree Bark Bats; Seed Pod Creepy Crawlies; and Sea Shell Fish Shoals, as well as scenes for their creatures to dwell in from tree-top sanctuaries to underground tunnels.
