A magical foraged winter wonderland
Foraging is awesome! It promotes good health and wellbeing and endless curiosity. Natural materials are easily accessible and encourage a lifelong love of learning about nature. So why not create a magical winter woodland using foraged natural and recycled resources.
Here are the top 5 foraging items to collect, to create a magical winter woodland:
Natural moss
Where to find? Look for moss in shady, moist areas.
This can be used as a base for your winter wonderland to show grass and fields.
Loose bark and twigs
Add a little classroom competition: How many twigs did you find?
And, these can be used as antlers for your reindeer!
Pinecones
Where to find? Look for pinecones scattered beneath conifer trees.
Pinecones can be used for numerous things. For example, you can use them to look like trees in your wonderland. Just paint them green!
Fallen winter leaves
Conversation starter: What did the leaves sound like during the foraging adventure?
Bring your winter wonderland to life and have these scattered around to look like they fell off the trees.
Rosemary
Craft idea: Create rosemary Christmas trees to add to your foraged winter woodland.
These are perfect to make your wonderland look like winter magic. Rosemary Christmas trees look super realistic too.
