This take on a classic camp craft inspires your family members to create versions of themselves with natural treasures from your own backyard.
What you'll need
- 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)
How to make it
Trim the sticks with the pruners and hot-glue them together to form a body with arms, a torso, and legs.
Draw a face on the stone with colored pencils, then glue it to the torso.
Glue on the other features, such as pinecone feet, an acorn cap, bark pants, or a pine needle skirt.
Once the glue has set, you can hang your project by tying the twine into a loop, then gluing it to the back.
