Nature Crown


O and I had fun making this simple nature crown today from a cereal box, Magnolia leaves, Azalea flowers, and staples.

To make the crown, I cut 2 strips from a cereal box and stapled them together to fit O's head. We picked Magnolia leaves and stapled them to the cardboard crown. O chose the flowers, and I stapled the flowers between the leaves. This was fun, simple, and I love how it looks on my little sweetie :) Oh, and it's perfect for Earth Day!

O and my mom made a Magnolia Leaf Crown last year, too! This might be a yearly tradition :)

Beautiful! I usually make a fairly leaf crown with my daughter every Fall. A Spring one sounds fantastic!

That is the sweetest crown - my daughter would love it. I'm hosting a fairy tea for little ones soon and that would be the perfect activity!
