The Hearts and Trees

Spring Themed

Art, Nature Study and Handicraft Kit

Each kit includes the instructions and materials to complete easy and fun handicraft, art and nature study projects with a minimum of effort. (Please note that you will need to provide common art supplies such as paper, markers, colored pencils, crayons, etc.)

I am so excited to introduce my newest kit. We have a number of new types of projects in this spring themed kit. For the first time, we have included a woodworking project! We were inspired by these handmade wooden animals. The kit comes with a wooden bird pre-cut and ready for you to sand and finish. The instructions page for this project also includes information about the different types of sandpaper.This kit also includes the materials and instructions to sew a plastic canvas bookmark--a favorite project of the kids at the school where I used to work. Another project in this kit is an origami jumping frog, which is sure to be a favorite. Our 4"x6" art print for this kit is Henri Rousseau's Exotic Landscape. We have again included a notebooking page for our featured artist. There are also the instructions for a Rousseau inspired art project. There is an art element notebooking page discussing the line family.

I had some help from my mom designing the nature study part of this kit. We decided to focus on birds as our nature study project. There are two pages of instructions, helping you to identify parts of a bird, bird sizes, and helping you to know what to look for so you can identify a bird later. Then we put together a bird observation page ready for you to use when you go out to observe birds- a place to record your observations so that you can identify the birds later. We also have included a laminated 3"x5" bird nature study card designed to be used for beginning bird watchers or younger students.
