Mossy Children's Botanical Craft
One of my favorite children's authors and illustrators is Jan Brett, known for her richly detailed and beautifully crafted children's storybooks. Her works often draw on themes of nature, folklore, and cultural traditions, bringing stories to life with intricate illustrations that captivate even the youngest of readers. Since our children were very young, we've been collecting her storybooks. After first reading Mossy, I had the idea of turning this sweet tale into a craft, most suited for children ages two to six.

Strawflower Garland
This is one of those slow, seasonal crafts to usher in autumn and put to use the beautiful strawflower heads you've grown and collected this summer. My favorite crafts are the ones I create with natural elements from my garden and supplies I already have on hand. Strawflower garland can add a whimsical touch to your greenhouse, chicken coop, and your next birthday celebration. -
