Nature Art Box

I got this nifty idea from Family Fun Magazine.  On our fall camping trip I surprised the kids with this super cool nature art box along with their very own Junior Ranger Activity book.  The best part about this souvenir?  Each compartment includes a natural souvenir!  :)

Lesson:  I challenged the kids to fill each compartment with a natural souvenir that matches each hue along our hike.  This was super special because normally we have a leave it be policy when hiking.  They love looking at their nature boxes every day!

Materials:  egg crate and acrylic paints (a variety of colors...think nature) 


The night before I painted each compartment with acrylic paint.


Along our hikes they found feathers, leaves, rocks, acorns, flowers and more.
