Parents are always looking for fun things they can do with their kids. Building this bond with your child is extremely important. No need to buy those expensive (and potentially toxic) arts and crafts kits. Kimberly Monoghan has recently released the book Organic Crafts: 75 Earth Friendly Art Activities, printed on 100% recycled paper. Not to mention most of the supplies needed can be found in nature, so it’s eco friendly and cost efficient! Another plus, only about 16 of these activities require adult supervision so there is still a wide variety to choose from if you’re not able to participate.
Pitch from the website:
“Parents, teachers, and caregivers looking for ideas on how to get children outdoors and instill in them a love for nature can find more than 75 creative crafts, games, and activities using objects that kids can collect from nature in this idea book. As children make race cars out of rocks, create paint from plants, and assemble funny grass masks, they learn to be environmentally friendly—absorbing information on recycling, reducing waste, and inspiring others to protect nature. Organized by the various natural materials needed, the crafts offer a new twist on perennial homemade gifts and school projects.”

The idea of making crafts environment friendly is very nice. This will protect the kid from the harms and also for the nature.
