A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 7 min to prepare · 10 min to explore · 3 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- Large clean dry leaves
- Wide paper strip
- Child-safe glue
- Adult-operated scissors
Let's begin
Three simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
- Grown-up job
An adult prepares a paper band and checks all the leaves.
- Little one leads
Let your child choose and arrange leaves on the band.
- Grown-up job
An adult helps secure the crown, or it can stay flat as a nature collage.
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
