Have you ever heard of Nature Print Paper? This magical blue paper captures anything you place on it, using the sun! It’s amazing and I really wanted to tell you guys about it! We did a simple but beautiful Scavenger Hunt Using Nature Print Paper!
Nature Print Paper was kind enough to send us a packet of their paper for my kids and I to try. And let me tell you, we had a blast! It’s truly magical! We collected some outdoor nature finds, like pinecones, pine needles, evergreen and twigs. Get creative and use wildflowers, acorns, grass, weeds, leaves, anything you can find! After collecting our nature finds, we used Nature Print Paper to capture the shadows and then taped them to a piece of cardboard and labeled each print. It was a ton of fun!
