Nature self-portrait
It's you, made of nature! Draw around your child in chalk, then fill the outline with leaves and sticks.
*Illustrative age guidance. Your child's development and circumstances matter more than a number.
A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 3 min to draw · 15 min to fill · 2 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- Chalk and a path or patio, or a beach
- Leaves, sticks, petals, pine cones and stones
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
- Little one leads
Your child lies down on the path.
Draw around them with chalk.
Fill the outline: leafy hair, stick fingers, pebble eyes, a petal smile.
Stand back and look. Does it look like them?
Take a photo before the wind blows it away.
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
