Doodle, spin, and spiral around with our fun virtual spirograph. With this tool, your students can explore hypotrochoids. Not sure what they are? Hypotrochoids are trochoids, which are made by rolling one circle around another circle that's stationary. In other words, it's a way to draw cool spiral pictures!

Here's how it works. First, choose a color. Then, play with the controls. The first lever from left to right controls the size of the inner two circles. The second lever controls the size of the innermost circle. The lever on the far right places the pen. Finally, press the play button and watch your spiral form! When you like the picture, press the stop button. You can also change the size of the paintbrush by pressing the dot button. Add more than one spiral and color to your picture, or leave it as is.

As children explore the virtual spirograph, they're developing mathematical and scientific skills. How? As they experiment with the controls, they learn to predict outcomes and patterns that they will create. Plus, they develop an understanding of geometry.

Do you want to have fun with more spirographs? Try our other spirograph tools which include the polygon and the rose.

Click or tap on any of the diamonds to change its color, but the "shapeshifting" part comes into play depending on which diamonds you click in relation to the ones that have already changed color. You'll see after experimenting a bit that the bright-colored diamonds will change shape depending on which diamonds around them are also activated (or colored). If this doesn't make sense, scroll down below the game to see examples of what one can do with this arts game.

Here's three examples of digital art that we've made using the Shapeshifter Art Game. If you make something you like and would like to share it with us, take a screen shot of your Shapeshifter Art and send it to us and we'll add it to a forthcoming gallery of Shapeshifter Art Works! (coming soon ...)

Sand Painting Game

Try our updated version of our most-popular game, the Sand Painting Game! We replaced the Flash version with this HTML5 version, which allows you to play on all devices: computers, tablets and mobile phones! There is no end or goal of the game other than to create interesting patterns and have fun. A good starting point is to use the "wall" element - which is activated at the start of the game - and set walls across the game area to control the path of the falling yellow sand, blue water, white salt, and brown oil. Then try some other elements to mix things up a bit!

Check out our Sand Painting Game Version 2, which includes more ways to manipulate what happens in the game and also a mysterious "random" element, or try our new Sand Painting Art Maker!

Click here to learn about Navajo Sand Painting.

As you can see by these samples below, you can create just about any type of "sand art" with this Sand Painting Game! If you want to make a drastic change to your game, either click here to start over or use the "C-4" along with the "fire" element to clear your game area and start with new elements!

Sometimes a new focus is all that is required to return the vibrancy to something that is beginning to pale. This is what this activity is about - making a familiar walk special by having a spontaneous nature hunt. But we weren't just hunting for pretty leaves and flowers - we were looking for materials to make our names with...

As a family, we like going hiking in the woods. There is one provincial park in our area we particularly enjoy. It meets all the criteria on our checklist - creek and waterfall, a few meadows with berries and a variety of animals that you can spot if you're lucky enough. Our son is always very optimistic about our chances. "Let's go find a deer!" he says as he heads into the park.

We have been going to this park since Budster turned three months, so we have all had time to explore it well. And as we all probably know, there are times when familiar things are pleasant and comforting like an old blanky, but there are times when one is pining for something new that promises exitement. When we fount the latter to be the case, we tried exploring a few new places, but there was always something missing: they were too short, or too expensive, or too far, or all of the above.

Last weekend, we found ourselves in our favourite park again. We were simply going for a walk, but my thoughts were occupied with creating a slide of photos for my friend's wedding. I wanted to put together a series of photos featuring our messages to the newlyweds, and I decided to start with their names.

There was an old bridge across the creek that Budster likes to play in and can occupy himself for a long time. Daisies and thistles grew on its banks, and we spotted a cluster of late berries and early yellow leaves. An inspiration struck me, so I sat down on the bridge and started making letters with them. It was working very well, and suddenly I felt happy. I love making projects with natural materials because they provide such unique textures and colours, and this was coming together so fast which was a pleasant treat - my projects tend to take too long, and half of them don't even start.

My men were nice enough to supply me with materials, and in no time I had the names of my friends done. Just in time Budster was ready to hit the trail again. As soon as we walked up the hill, I spotted a cluster of red berries and exclaimed, "O-oh! They would have looked nice!" Then I saw a clover. There had been no clovers by the bridge. So I said, "Let's see what other interesting things we can find, and we will make our names on the way back!" That's how a walk turned into a letter nature hunt - or, to be more precise, a hunt for materials that can be turned into letters. Among our greatest finds were a pretty blue jay feather, acorns and a bunch of hickory nuts.

A couple of hours later, we were back on the bridge going home. There Budster played in the creek again, while my husband and I were making a nature collage of our names. It may not seem very grown-up... But there and then, it felt like the most romantic thing we have done in a while!

Budster doesn't know any letters yet, but he took his chance to learn some. When we pointed out his name, made of leaves and flowers, he inquired curiously about every letter. That was not exactly how I imagined introducing him to letters, but isn't it the best when learning just happens? There on the bridge, he could touch letters and even smell them!

And even though he couldn't write, he was excited to make little pictures.

At the end of our outing, I thought that it was one of the best hikes I had. I felt alert, and I noticed more of my surroundings than usually. Every hill was not just an exercise for my legs, but a wonder, "What will I find when I get up there?" All in all, adding a little extra sense of purpose to our hike did the trick, and the old place seemed exciting again.

Maybe our letter nature hunt could be inspiring to you? It doesn't have to be a big hike. I bet you would have a lot of inspiring finds in the backyard or on a walk down the street. If you have kids who are reluctant to go out or if you need an extra purpose for organizing a little family outing! Or maybe in the evening, you and your spouse would feel artistic enough to make a nature collage of your names. I'd like to print ours and frame it.

Have some nature fun with our nature STEAM bundle ! Children will learn about nature while playing games, completing engineering challenges, going on scavenger hunts, and making art with natural materials.

These autumn leaf butterflies and dragonflies are SO COOL and are completely inspired by nature! Fall is here, and our neighborhood is sooo pretty right now! There are so many beautiful trees changing colours. Bright oranges, rich reds and bold yellows are taking over the streets and I LOVE it! It wasn't hard to be influenced by all the beauty of autumn, and this craft was so much fun!

Nature really provides the bulk of what you'll need to make this craft! I went on a little walk around the block with my kids and we found SO many cool things! From twigs, to berries to tiny thistles, we scored a ton of usable stuff! There were such pretty leaves, some with patterns or interesting shapes, and there are countless ways to use them. You'll be surprised at how much you can find when you're on a mission!

Leaves and twigs are free, which makes this craft super inexpensive! All you'll need in addition to your leaves etc. is some tacky glue, scissors and cardstock. The rest is up to your imagination! If you love colour as much as I do, you'll be so excited to shape and cut out your butterflies and see how many combinations you can come up with!

Not only were my kids excited to walk around and search for fun nature materials, but they also really enjoyed making their butterflies and dragonflies! We filled a grocery bag with fun leaves, twigs, maple keys, and little buds and berries, and when we got back they LOVED choosing their favourites. They sat on the floor and spent a good half hour choosing their pieces and making their butterflies. They were SO focused on what they were doing!

When we first started looking for our leaves and such, the maple keys (I call them keys... do you call them helicopters?) hadn't fallen off the trees yet. So picture me on the side walk, jumping as high as I can to grab a branch (hopefully that particular neighbour didn't see me jumping for their tree!), and then awkwardly holding it with a stick while reaching on my tippy-toes for maple keys. Of course, the very next day I walked the kids to school and the maple keys on all the trees had fallen down onto the sidewalk. GO FIGURE!

Use our butterflies and dragonflies as inspiration and see what you can come up with! The great thing about butterflies is there are so many different kinds, sizes, shapes and colours so you can be really creative. And with materials from nature, they will all be completely unique!

Check out our video for how to make Leaf Butterflies:

Looking for more craft ideas?? Here are some of our favourites:

How to make Leaf Butterflies:

We tried to find as many bright and colourful leaves as we could. The bolder the better! Lay your leaves out and start looking for colours and patterns that compliment each other. Grab two that work together. Use one for for the top half and one for the bottom.

Sometimes your leaves will resemble wings naturally, and you won't have to cut them. But don't be afraid to cut them to get the shapes you want!

Once you have your upper and lower wings (usually 4 pieces) you can start laying them out on your cardstock. I like to lay out all my butterfly pieces before I glue things down, just to make sure things are looking good. If you don't like how it looks, you can easily trim certain pieces, or swap out others.j

Find pieces to make your butterfly's body, head (optional) and antennae. You can use so many different things from nature - small pine cones, twigs, berries, tiny flowers. Get creative - there are no rules!

Once you're happy with the butterfly shape you've created, start gluing the pieces onto cardstock.

I used Aleene's Tacky Glue and it worked really well! It's sticky enough that the pieces stay in position much better than regular white glue (although white glue is also an option). And since it doesn't dry right away you have time to move the leaves and sticks slightly if you need to re-adjust once you lay them down.

I glued the bottom wings first, then layered on the upper wings on top.

Next, add your body, head and finally the antennae!

Aren't these butterflies SO beautiful?! I love how colourful they all look!

Butterflies aren't the only things you can make! Try making a dragonfly! Grab a small twig and a couple maple keys and your dragon fly will come together fast! It's so simple to make and looks SO realistic!

Take walk around your neighborhood or through a park and see what's around! You'll be amazed at how many neat little plants you find!

My kids LOVE helping me find supplies for our craft projects, especially when they come from nature. If I ask them for a stick, they'll enthusiastically come back with about 20 sticks!

I'm not sure what the best way is to preserve these? We made ours over a week ago, and they are still holding up well. But the colours are getting less vibrant, and the edges are curling up a little bit. They still look beautiful, but I don't think they'll last forever.

If you want them to last forever, you could try covering them with a layer of Mod Podge? There are a few spray preservatives out there as well. I linked one above! I'd love to hear your recommendations in the comments!

See how many shapes and different types of insects you can create!

Such a great fall project! All you need is some glue and some paper. Nature will provide the rest!

These autumn leaf butterflies and dragonflies are SO COOL and they're really easy to make! Go on a nature walk and see what fun leaves, flowers, pinecones, thistles, and sticks you can find. You can make all sorts of fun creatures from fall leaves! This Autumn nature craft is such a fun fall craft for kids!
