Nature mobiles
Time: 10-15 minutes
Materials: string or yarn, hot glue (optional)
Activity: Find two sticks (6 inches to 1 foot) in your outdoor area and tie them in an X pattern. Have kids collect objects that they might want to add to their mobile. As you select four items, help kids work through how objects might balance each other to keep the mobile level. Tie your final objects to strings and attach the strings to the ends of the X. Keep the strings short enough that they won’t tangle. Hot glue can help with attaching objects. Tie a string to the middle of the X and use it to hang your mobiles.
