AGES:
3 and up
INGREDIENTS:
Items collected on a nature hike (sticks, pine cones, dried flowers, scrubs, etc.) or bought at a craft store
Yarn or ribbon
INSTRUCTIONS:
Take a walk around your neighborhood (staying socially distant!) and collect items for your mobile. Use all your senses to describe the items you found!
When you get back inside (and after you wash your hands), use yard or ribbon to secure 2 sticks in the shape of an X.
At the 4 ends of the sticks, hang some of the items you found on your hike using yarn or ribbon.
Do the objects balance each other out? If not, try rearranging the items or hang more than 1 item from a stick end.
Now hang the mobile to see your treasure in a new way.
