With a little imagination and a helping hand from mother nature, anyone can make something beautiful - just like this amazing nature colour wheel.
A great way to get the kids outdoors and to sneak in some fun teachable moments too, a nature colour wheel is not only a fun DIY hands-on craft, but also a tool that can be used again and again for unlimited learning. Once constructed, let the kiddos collect an array of flora to match the corresponding colours on the wheel and watch as they learn the many colours of nature.
Bring the colour wheel back out season-after-season for the kids to use in all their favourite spots to take the learning from colours to climate - think backyards, parks, forests, and even beaches. See how many colours they can find in spring, summer, winter, and autumn and for even more of a challenge, you can always update the colours so they can find even more!
Help your kids see the beauty in nature and immerse them in a world of colour with this DIY colour wheel. Simply print out the free template below, stop by Kmart, Target, and Big W to collect your supplies, and get started by following the fun step-by-step instructions below!
