This Earth Day, let nature spark your creativity! From leaves and flowers to sticks and sand, the world around us is filled with materials waiting to be transformed into art. Use this Creative Break activity to explore the beauty of nature through art.

Here’s a suggested project using sticks, flowers, and petals—but feel free to get creative with any natural materials you find. Let nature inspire your Earth Day creation.  



Gather natural materials—whether by taking a walk, picking up a bouquet, or browsing a craft store. The choice is yours! 

Spend time arranging the materials in various ways. Try to resist the urge to glue anything down. 

Take some time to appreciate your creation! Then respect its ephemeral nature by letting it go. 

Happy Earth Day! We'd love to see how nature inspires you—tag us in your earthy creations.
