What can a 4-year-old make out of sticks or twigs gathered from the woods? |

Let the Child Decide
The child can make a log cabin by cutting or breaking the sticks to the same lenth and gluing them together to form a cabin. On the other hand, 4-year-old children have vast imaginations! You and the child could go into the woods together and collect sticks that the child selects. Once they are collected, you can simply allow the child to create something with them using glue and maybe even other materials like fabric, buttons, pipe cleaners, etc. I did a similar project using various sizes of scrap wood with a group of first graders once. I showed them what was available for them to use and told them to use whatever they needed and make whatever they wanted. They each made something different and I was totally amazed at their creativity!!!
