Nature Painting : A Sensory Brushless Painting Activity

LO loves being outdoors and exploring the natural items like sticks, stones, sand, leaves, etc. So I thought why not incorporate these natural items in his painting and create a fun experience.

At the end it was so exciting for LO because it turned out to be a two part experience, one nature walk and the other, a nature painting.

Nature Walk

At first we set out on our walk to a nearby park. On the way I encouraged him to collect items which he likes. He carried a paper bag to gather the items.

He collected sticks, flowers, leaves,etc and he enjoyed the scavenger hunt!


Painting with Nature

After we turned back home, the real fun began! I arranged all the "nature items" he collected on the table so that he can access them easily.


At firsts he was hesitant about my idea of painting with the leaves rather using the brushes. Then after little encouragement he started to explore.


This was a new experience for him and it was absolutely fun.
He had a great experience in experimenting the colors with nature items.


As you all know LO's day is not complete without Alphabets! So here comes the finishing touch...!


This is the first time we are doing the alphabets with colors and LO was so excited about this activity.


He printed numbers too along with the alphabets and finally it was a great hands-on for LO.
Please share your own creative ideas with colors in the comment box.

Happy Parenting!😊
