Sticky nature cards are a really fun activity to take with you when you are out exploring nature. You can make them as simple or complicated as you like. Today we decided to do a #30DaysWild board, to celebrate the start of the Wildlife Trusts campaign, but they are equally effective in a simpler form as shown in our original Sticky Nature Cards post.
Each season and habitat will give you a very different board, so it’s a great way to record the changing seasons and colours. There is also no reason why you couldn’t adapt this activity to include different objects. It is such a great way to get kids to engage with wild spaces, and it really helps them look closely at what is growing around them.
And think it was a fabulous way to start our #30DaysWild!

[…] Day 01 #30DaysWild – Sticky Nature Pictures […]
Thanks so much for linking back to our post, and I love your father’s day card – it looks fab!
First off, your kids are adorable! And it looks like they have a great time together. I really like the finished project, it looks so springy! I’m sure a good time was had by all, an afternoon spent outside, and really looking at the things that are around us. I’m sure you found some cool stuff, nature really is amazing. Isn’t it?
Nature really is remarkable, Nikki – we are loving the #30DaysWild challenge! I told the kids that you say they are adorable, and they said they know lol. Trust me they have their moments, but generally they do get on well :)
I saw your sticky card idea before. I love how you’ve done the 30 Day wild slogan on the board for this! I can’t wait to try this with my little one when he is older! #whatevertheweather
Thanks Karen, we were really pleased with how it turned out, its such an adaptable craft :)
We are so doing this! It will keep my kids very happy camping or playing outside.
It’s perfect for camping – it’s so easy to transport ready to go cards, and you can use the tape to make any shape you want :)
We’re going to try your nettle cordial recipe next week ;)
Oh it looks fab, I am so pleased you made one :) Your other activities look fab too – love the picture of the stream, it looks wonderful :)
Looks good fun to me. I think you’ve made a good point about the seasons and picking little bits of flora and fauna. #CountryKids
Thanks Helena, yes its important not to pick so much that you damage the plants
Aww such a nice idea for a #30daywild project! We are joining too and is enjoying this challenge =) #countrykids
Thanks Merlinda – popping over now to see what you guys have been up to :)
Such a gorgeous photo and what an amazing idea for a craft. I love the idea of using sticky tape to make a picture with nature. We’ll definitely be trying this with Evie. xx
Evie will love it Chloe, it’s such fun, bet you’d find amazing things on the beach for one :)
I like the idea of creating a theme and the floral theme in the lettering has worked a treat!Getting the kids stuck in is a great move too!
Thank Ana, it’s a lovely way to record nature :)
This looks like a great fun and creative activity for the kids. This would definitely keep my kids busy.
It is a fab way to entertain kids, they all seem to love it – you can pretty much do it anywhere :)
This is indeed a perfect way to start 30 days wild! I absolutely love it! I’m going to get my kids to make one too (but when we get home as I’m in France at the moment and don’t know the French for ‘double sided tape’!!)#CountryKids
Haha, that’d test my French too! It’s a lovely activity, we often do it and they always turn out different :)
What a good idea to get kids doing more outdoors. It looks like a fun day was had judging by the photos!
It was a lovely morning Lyndsey, we actually walked miles – the kids were totally focused on their picture so just keep going :)
This really is a great way to start your #30dayswild challenge. Getting your kids to interact with the nature they could find around them is fab. I might have to remember this activity for here on the farm, the kids could make their own collage’s to take home to remember the farm! Thanks for linking up with me on #CountryKids.
It’d be perfect for your visitors Fiona, and there’s loads of ways you could adapt it – it’s also really quick to set up. Thanks for having us x
This looks great. Would like to give it a try – how did you do the lettering?
Hi Janet I printed them off in grey so I could just see them to cut around them (I reversed the lettering so the grey was on the back) and stuck the double sided tape to them before we cut them out if that makes sense, so the tape is facing up. Then stuck the letters to the cardboard with PVA glue. x
Thank you – we made one!
Oh I’m so pleased Janet – we’d love to see a photo!
