Celebrate nature with 50 exciting keepsake crafts for kids from beloved creator Sibia Torres Padilla!
Capture the Magic and Whimsy of the Enchanted Forest
Make spellbinding nature crafts that will transport your wild child into the realm of fairies, gnomes and enchanted toadstools. Discover how to use flowers and fairy lights to create a dreamy Flower Lantern, or fill a glass jar with moss, painted rocks and little treasures to invite a fairy into your very own Fairy Jar. Kids who love all things creepy crawly will get a kick out of collecting seed pods and painting their own Seed Pod Dragonflies or repurposing a plastic bottle to catch cardboard bugs in a unique Insect Dome.
Every project uses recycled materials you can find in your home or backyard. These sweet and charming heirloom crafts will inspire kids of every age—even those “kids at heart” adults—to find the magic in the mundane, create special memories and preserve a bit of nature’s wild beauty.
