My daughter and I have partnered to create a new edition of her Hearts and Trees Art, Nature, and Handicraft kits. The theme of the current kit is Bubbles and Lavender which was fun to work with!
With Hearts and Trees Kits you receive simple to use instructions and supplies to complete a variety of projects and activities. In this Bubbles and Lavender kit, I was able to pull together a complete nature study unit on lavender with follow up activities, including a sample of lavender from my own garden and a set of custom nature journal pages to supplement the study. Because lavender is not in the Handbook of Nature Study, I wrote up an informational page in the style of the Outdoor Hour Challenge and it is included in the kit for you to use as a reference.
After your lavender study, one of the sewing projects is to make a lavender sachet using the sample lavender included in the kit. There is another sewing project in the kit where your children can design and create a felt bracelet.
The other handicraft activities include making a bubble wand and a foam pendant.
For the artist study, we chose a bubble themed painting and a 4″ by 6″ print is included with the kit for your family to view and enjoy. There are follow-up notebooking pages for the artist and painting which use a link to download a pdf with additional prints or to view them on your computer. There is even watercolor paper included to make your very own bubble painting! We also included instructions and a notebook page on learning to write in bubble letters which is a fun skill for everyone.
- For a complete list of the contents and supplies included in the Bubbles and Lavender Kit from Hearts and Trees, please click over to the entry on my daughter’s blog. You will find complete details for purchasing this edition.
- These kits are not just for homeschoolers and there are many families that use them afterschool and on the weekends.
- The kits are designed for children ages 6 and up and there will be some activities that require adult supervision.
- Hearts and Trees kits include small parts so be careful when using them around younger siblings.
- We have an ample supply of kits on hand but they go fast and then they will be gone.
We expect to release the next kit in October and we are working on the idea of featuring trains, prairie animals, and pioneer themed handicrafts.

What a great idea, Barb! I definitely would enjoy learning more about lavender, while my daughters would probably enjoy doing the handwork component to the kit.
Lavender & artist studies look very interesting. Tranhasmail@gmail.com
We would love to learn about the lavender!
I was thinking about purchasing this kit, bubbles and lavender just sound so fun together. I think I will enjoy doing the sewing project with my kids. My daughter will enjoy that.
I love these kits (I have 2 others and they are fabulous!) I would definitely look forward to the lavendar study (my all-time favorite herb) and the bubbles! Thank you for the opportunity!
looking for ways to keep myself motivated this school year, especially wanting to be consistent with our notebooks and handicrafts, the lavender sachet is a perfect idea. this is very inspiring! 🙂
My boys would love the bubble wand, and i would love the lavender…especially since I HAVE some growing right outside!
