People Pebbles
Parenthood has a cute and simple craft making people and animal creatures from pebbles. It's a great craft that can be done outside and half of the fun will be searching for unique shaped pebbles. You can also use grass, moss, twigs, petals, leaves and other natural products to make hair, fur or clothing.
Get your child to find similarities in the shape of the stones to different animals. Or create shapes using different sized pebbles. Use the larger stones for the main body and the smaller ones for the head, you could also ad feet and arms.
Glue the stones together to the preferred animal or shape. Color the stones or pebbles and use a marker pen for smaller details such as eyes, hair and mouths.
Good for ages 8 and up.
