Easy air dry clay projects for kids - The Nature Mobile
Kids naturally love collecting things.
Shells, sticks, leaves and other finds from their adventures out in the wild.
What better way to encourage and support their curiosity than with their very own Nature Mobile.
Take your tiny human on a treasure hunt where the aim is to collect a mix of treasures our environment has to offer. Bag up your finds, take them home and schedule calm crafting time with your small person.
Celebrate your finds and select those super-special items that you want to showcase in your Nature Mobile.
What else do you need?
Air dry clay and a string, a rolling pin and a Stampies set.
Every Stampies set comes with a stainless steel cookie cutter, 1 wooden stamper and easily interchangeable silicone animal stamps that will add a cute animal touch to your tiny human’s mobile.
Take a look at the 15 animal stamps, name each animal and then pick your favourites to stamp into the air dry clay.
Not only will this easy air dry clay project for kids give you special one-on-one time with your munchkin, it will also treat you to a memento of your session that will find a special spot in your child’s bedroom.
