Description
Get creative and make incredible pieces of art using rocks, wood, berries, flowers, and leaves in this nature craft book for children ages 7-9.
Find out how the very earth beneath your feet can be used to make paints and pastels, and how flowers can be repurposed to create inks. Children can learn how to pour paint onto a canvas, how to put pencil to paper and draw, how bits of old paper can make a beautiful collage, and how different mediums can come together to create incredible prints through nature.
Inside this hands-on craft book for children, you’ll find:
- Plenty of tips and techniques on how to draw, paint, print, and collage, through easy-to-follow instructions.
- Art through nature encourages children to explore outside and find natural materials to make art.
- A clear layout divided into different art forms; drawing, collaging, painting, and printing, so you can easily find the section you’re looking for.
Become inspired in Make Art with Nature, as Pippa takes you into the outdoors and shows you a wide range of artistic techniques, from understanding basic color theory, to creating texture, movement, and fluidity in your own work. Kids will love learning how to master different art forms, but also how to make their own art supplies whilst getting outside and exploring nature.

Looking for a fun adventure with your kid? This book will show you how to use natural elements to create artwork using paints made from fruits, veggies, and even coffee. Drawing with rocks and minerals. It's the perfect companion for nature walks with little ones as it will keep them entertained the whole time.

I absolutely loved this book! The ideas were different from your typical kids craft book. I loved all the natural ideas for coloring and nature based projects. It had knowledge in it that would be great and easy for kids to pick up on.

If you have a child with an artistic bent in your orbit you can certainly interact more usefully to assist in developing those talents by working on the projects and ideas in this book. Supervision is strongly advised but there are simple things easily located for use in color, drawing, journaling, collages, and more. The suggestion is for ages 7-9, but the written learning discussions are ageless. I would definitely utilize it in group activities.
The illustrations by the author are exceptionally colorful, and this adds to the ability of the reader to retain the learning provided as they are imaginative, and delightful and FUN!
Well suited for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school, hospital, or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from DK/DK Children via NetGalley. Thank you!

Make Art with Nature is a fun book! The book's pages are bright, colorful and have great photos/illustrations. Each section is full of ideas about using natural ingredients and supplies to make some great art projects. You'll learn about making paints colors and dyes from things like beets, turmeric, tea, coffee, charcoal, etc. And using onion peel papers, and making stamps out of things like lemons and other fruits/veggies. The book also has cool sections on using rocks and plants to make ink/paint- crushing them, getting them wet, etc. Very neat ideas for sure. I would recommend if you're interested in this type of artwork. Make Art with Nature is full of great and fun art ideas!
