I saw a beautiful post circulating on Facebook with sticks that look like dancing people. Have you seen it yet? It’s such a simple idea, but so it’s imaginative and such a fun project! I was instantly inspired to make a craft that recreates this photo and couldn’t wait to try it with my boys!

Ready to give it a try!? Here’s what you’ll need..

Supplies:

    • A variety of flowers
    • Cardboard– These cardboard sheets are a convenient option if you don’t have any to reuse. 
    • A sharp pencil to poke holes for the flowers
    • Tape

Here’s How to Make the Nature Craft:

Step One:

Head outside and search for sticks that look like people. This craft is great because you sticks are available anytime of year!

We searched the ground for sticks and found a ton of a fallen branches! We have looked for stick people before for our Stick Man activity, but loved this idea of searching for dancing stick people. Once you find a stick. you might need to pick off a couple of little sticks to make your person. They can be hard to find at first and then all of a sudden, they seem to be everywhere! We even found stick animals!

My boys couldn’t resist playing with the stick people. Our sticks were pretty thin and fragile, so they had to be gentle with their dancing pieces of nature. 

Once you find a stick. you might need to pick off a couple of little sticks to make your person. 

Step 2:

Now that you have a collection of stick people, grab a piece of cardboard. We used a long piece of white poster board to make the sticks stand out. You can tape you stick people right on the cardboard.

Step 3:

We decided to add flower heads to our stick people, so I poked holes right above the sticks to thread the flower stems through. My boys taped the stems to the back of the piece of cardboard. 

I added this step from the original post, so it is optional!

It turned out so cute! My boys had fun mimicking the sticks and are constantly searching for more dancing sticks to add to their collection. This is such a simple and fun way to connect kids with nature and get them outside!
