10-Minute Seasonal Crafts

Who doesn't love summer? Of course, students look forward to the academic break, but there are many educational opportunities this warm season provides outside the classroom. These fun step-by-step projects are sure to engage young readers while the accompanying facts will keep them learning year-round.

There isn't anything more appropriate for springtime than these charming projects! By gathering some of the materials from nature, reading about them, and then assembling the projects, students will have a great time as they learn through an invigorating mixture of fresh air, exercise, earth science, and art!

The leaves change color, the air grows cool and crisp, and animals prepare for winter. Autumn is a magical season, but the quick crafts found in this book will make it even more so. Each fall-themed project uses seasonal materials commonly found in nature and ties in informative text, combining textual and tactile learning into one unforgettable educational experience.

Mini pine forests, ice mobiles, penguin bowling, and more will make crafty kids forget all about the freezing temperatures outside. But these winter projects will do much more than simply entertain. Informative texts highlighting different aspects of the season link art and earth science in a way that effectively utilizes both cognitive and tactile learning.
