This is the season when our days start to feel lighter, awakening both the spirits and creativity inside us. It’s the season that inspires me the most to embrace into something new, an outdoor activity to try, or possibly start a new business venture. This season has grounded me in ways I didn’t know I needed. I am deeply content in motherhood, surrounded by all the love imaginable. Yet, I am still eager for growth, to really capture all life has to offer. This spring has been an awakening. Not in a loud, dramatic way but I can sincerely feel a shift in my soul towards a different way of living.
Nest and Bloom is meant to create a natural rhythm to your early childhood and motherhood days. Whether you need to fill an hour of time before prepping lunch or your child is absolutely refusing to come inside from the backyard. These activities are simple, easy and only require items you have at home or found in nature.
Materials: Cardboard or sturdy paper, colored markers and a basket
Head outside to match items in nature to each color
This encourages curiosity and builds color awareness

Go on a walk and let your toddler pick out as many flowers as they would like.

Crafting with nature allows us to gain connection to the world around us. I hope these nature inspired activities help you create memories with your enthusiastic toddler. Take your time, be present and let natures beauty lead the way.
Happy Crafting!
