Make a Nature Costume

Written By Kim Manunui

Today's Nature Connector is to make a nature costume. We've attached ideas below for making leaf crowns, nature bracelets and daisy chains. These leaf crowns and bracelets are great activities for our preschool explorers. You can click HERE for instructions on how to make magic wands.  You could make a necklace from flowers, or a skirt from leaves. What else could you create?  Unleash your creativity and use your imagination! 

Challenge: can you make an entire outfit from natural items like leaves, sticks, branches and flowers? 

Make this an art/technology/team work activity.  Put children into groups and provide each group with string, tape, strips of card and glue (glue guns are good, as they dry quickly, but they will require supervision).  Challenge them to make a costume from nature.  The craft items that they have been given may be used to help give the costume’s structure and hold it together, but should not be able to be seen.  They will need to explore outside to find materials to use.  This activity might be best done when there are lots of autumn leaves around. 

We'd love to see your wearable natural art, so don't forget to share a photo with us at KGT! We might add your photo to this page!

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.
