This take on a classic camp craft inspires your family members to create versions of themselves with natural treasures from your own backyard.
Materials
- Sticks and twigs
- Hand pruners (a parent's tool)
- Hot-glue gun
- Flat stone
- Colored pencils
- Small objects from nature, such as pinecones, pine needles, pieces of bark, acorns, and leaves
- 8-inch piece of twine (optional)
Instructions
1. Trim the sticks with the pruners and hot-glue them together to form a body with arms, a torso, and legs.
2. Draw a face on the stone with colored pencils, then glue it to the torso.
3. Glue on the other features, such as pinecone feet, an acorn cap, bark pants, or a pine needle skirt.
4. Once the glue has set, you can hang your project5 by tying the twine into a loop, then gluing it to the back.
