Nature's Wreath

Nature objects you've gathered on a walk (dried leaves, acorns, seedpods, pinecones, twigs, etc.)
Large grapevine wreath (available at garden centers) or individual small ones
Floral wire
Glue gun
1.Plan a nice family outting and take the kids out for a scavenger hunt create a list of items found outside walking like leaves and acorns and have them spot them. Play I spy while walking gathering goodies for your wreath. This is a nice front door idea that can hang through winter. Enjoy family time with the kids.

2. Back at home, invite everyone to arrange their finds on a large grapevine wreath, or provide individual small ones to serve as take-home keepsakes.

Twigs, stems, and larger items can be woven into the grapevine or secured with floral wire. A parent can affix small items such as acorns or pebbles with a glue gun. Hang the finished product proudly -- it should last until spring.
