Seed Pod Snake Project

seed pod snakes

Nature Craft Project

During the Fall season, there are many natural materials to be found.  We encourage kids to get outside and make some of their own finds.  So many sticks, rocks and even pieces of bark can be made into fun art projects.  This particular craft project uses seed pods.  Ours are from a catalpa tree but many trees send out pods with seeds or you can substitute twigs for this fun and colorful snake project.

This is the perfect homeschool activity for spending time outdoors.  Give each child a small bag to collect their found treasures, concentrating on finding seed pods and twigs that resemble snakes.

What you need:

  • Seed pods or sticks
  • Paint
  • Brushes

Let the kids paint their snakes in a variety of colors, incorporating stripes, dots etc. as they wish.

Printable Mask Project

Kids love to make and wear masks and this is a great activity for them to customize their own mask.  Use these fun masks for any Superhero project or any costume.  Each mask can be made to match any theme for Halloween or just for play.

Suitable for most any age, this project encourages fine motor control through use of crayons and scissors.  Masks can be colored with crayons, colored pencils or markers.  Encourage the kids to use their imaginations to add fun design details.

Let younger children trace the dotted lines of their mask first and then color as they wish.

Just print the mask page on heavy paper, then supply crayons and markers, scissors and have elastic on hand to fit each child.
