Had a fabulous time running the nature mask craft activity at NaturePlay SA’s Forest Festival. Families gathered at Kuitpo Forest, just outside of Adelaide, for 2 days of playing, relaxing, exploring and fun in the forest. Orienteering, potion making, low ropes, and cubby building, kite flying and the nature masks were enjoyed by all.
The nature masks were made from pre-cut cardboard, with an elastic tie. Children (and parents!) used sticky tape or staples to attach colourful autumn leaves, sticks and feathers. Each mask was its own unique and beautiful design!
Leaves can be easily pressed in old books, or in a flower press like this, made from two pieces of wood joined with screws and wingnuts.
