Make My Name from Nature
[20 Minutes]
Children love to see their names. Take your child for a walk to find things from nature and make a fancy name plate.
You'll need:
paper plate
glue
marker
natural items
What to do:
- Use a marker and help your child write her name on the paper plate.
- Invite her to go for a walk with you to find natural items that she could glue onto the letters of her name.
- Encourage her to collect items, such as small pebbles, grasses, and twigs.
- After a while, stop for a moment and help spell her name with the items that she has collected. Ask, "Do we have enough materials to cover your name?"
- Back at home, let your child glue the items she found onto the letters of her name.
- Display the name plate where everyone can see it.
