Been on a homeschooling nature walk? Brought a few sticks home?
Why not make a stick doll?
A stick doll is easy to make with great results even for little ones. You will need:
- 2 sticks – one with a Y shape and one straight(ish!).
- Some yarn – thick 'arty' yarn is best.
To help your child make the doll :
- Using the Y part of one stick as the legs, place the other stick crosswise to make arms.
- Starting at the head begin to wind the yarn around the sticks. Catch in the end of the yarn to hold it in place.
- Keep winding – changing the yarn whenever you like.
- Tie or stick the end of the yarn in place.
A simple craft using nature – and it makes a great gift too!
