Make a Nature Frame

Giving children a frame to use while exploring outdoors in nature is a great way to get them to see the colours and textures around them in a different way. They may enjoy taking photos of the ‘pictures that they create too. A local teacher decided to give this activity a go and you can see her awesome butterfly frame pictures above. We think they are fantastic!

The frame doesn’t have to be a picture of an animal though, it could actually be an old picture frame, or you could try different shapes cut out as a way to introduce the vocabulary of the names of different shapes.

You could even make a frame using natural materials like in this video, then use that to frame nature scenes. Be creative!

CHILDSPLAYABC have a fantastic blog post abut making frames that is worth reading to get further inspiration. You can see some of the amazing pictures from it below.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
