Go on a festive hike this holiday season with this cute jingle bell hiking stick! Kids will love making them and have a blast taking them outdoors for a fun nature walk. After they're done moving and shaking outdoors, make them some hot chocolate and they'll be happy as can be all ready to relax!

This turkey rock craft is the perfect home decoration or handmade gift this Thanksgiving! You just need a rock and few other craft supplies to make this kid-friendly turkey craft. The contrast of the stones with the metallic gold dipped feathers looks so elegant and the googly eyes make these turkeys irresistible to young kids!

This absolutely adorable candy cane stick bouquet is the perfect handmade holiday gift for a loved one or a unique decoration for your home. You can pack them away at the end of the season and bring them back out year after year!

•Sticky Nature Ten Frame• What is a ten frame?

•Sticky Nature Ten Frame•
What is a ten frame? A ten frame is a rectangle with ten equal spaces. It has five spaces on top and five on the bottom. You use counters or math manipulatives to represent numbers less than or equal to ten on the frame. Sure you can use plastic manipulatives, but we prefer to use pieces of nature😍
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
You can peel the pieces of nature off the contact paper and start a new ten frame when you are done! This would also look beautiful with colorful leaves🍃🍂🍁
