Summer Play Inspiration - Play with Twigs and Branches

This week's topic for Share & Play on our Facebook page was summer fun playing with twigs and branches - something you can find everywhere in the nature, making this medium available and cheap for crafts and arts. Many wonderful ideas were shared and today, we'll share these ideas with all of you here so you can take a look and recreate some of these ideas at home with your own toddlers:


Stick men by Red Ted Art




Tin can forest by Hands on: as we grow


Twig vases by Paint Cut Paste


Driftwood mobiles by Paint Cut Paste (3 versions!)


Organic art by Living Montessori Now


Bird Nests by Seeds Idea Network


Gratitude tree by Nurture Store


Fairy Loom by Paint Cut Paste


Fairy garden by Nurture Store


Additional ideas by Rachele from Messy Kids who says: " Branches always become swords in our household. I personally prefer painting with them :) Also roasting hotdogs and marshmallows over a campfire."
