Create a Nature Face
Scientists have found that spending time in nature makes you feel happy. Exercise makes you happy too, so going on a nature walk is a great idea.
On your nature walk
Take a bag or bucket with you to collect lots of little bits of nature.
Look for things like …
- Leaves
- Small twigs
- Little flowers
- Feathers
- Grass
Be sure to wash your hands after picking them up!
When you get home…
- Draw an oval on a piece of card.
- Draw on eyes, a nose and a big smile.
- Use the things you have found in nature to make hair. Glue them on carefully
- Leave your picture to dry
You might want to make it look like you or someone you know. Perhaps you could make all your family?
