Make Toys from Sticks, Stones, and Natural Materials

Just because you’re stuck at home due to injury, illness, or global pandemic, doesn’t mean you can’t create a magical playtime for you and your kids.

While we all live in different climates and have different types of raw materials near our back doors, we can use what we find to make some fun natural toys.

  • Browse for a few ideas.
  • Go outside and gather your materials with your kids
  • Let them lead

I bet you’ll make something cool, but I’m also guessing you’re gonna make something else: MEMORIES!
