Nature Rubs

We enjoyed several nature walks out in the back woods. It was beautiful and peaceful. Gabi really enjoyed drawing sketches of several plants bugs. But these pictures of when we collected some small twigs, leaves, pine needles and even a small pine cone (which we divided) and then did nature rubs.


First, take your nature pieces and select one or couple to arrange neatly under a piece of paper.


Then lay your crayon sideways and rub across the item. You'll see the image emerge on the front side. Jeremy had two leaves laid together.


We also learned that darker colors make the best rubs. Here Gabi used a pink crayon and it didn't show up quite so nicely.
