Nature Activity - Festive Wooden Santas
Ho ho ho!!!!
We are remaining with the festive spirit for this resource and teaching you how to take some simple resources and make lovely standing wooden Santa decorations.
This is a really accessible activity for children of all ages and the results are really lovely.
Join the fun, make a Santa and have it adorn your windowsill or table this Christmas.
This activity is great fun but it's also great for your wellbeing too:
1) Get Active - As you saw in the short film, we had to venture out into the woods to collect our stick- woodlands are linked to positive wellbeing so taking a stroll through the trees is sure to boost your mood.
2) Keep Learning - There are opportunities for learning throughout this- tool use, painting, and sticking can be accessible to children of a variety of ages.
3) Practice Kindness- When we searched for our sticks we also left some nuts and seeds out for the birds and squirrels.
4)- Be Mindful- Painting is a very mindful activity and can help you distress and focus on the present moment boosting your wellbeing.
5) Think Community - A Santa statue left on a neighbours doorstep beside their milk is a great way to build community.
