I can't express all the feelings from that good time now, but i think i have something you will definitely like.
To make a long story short, I decided to involve kids at the kindergarten into DIY activities with nature material. When I was a kid, we were asked to do something similar too. It included possibilites of using cones, pine needles, acorns and chestnuts (Kastanien!).
I tried to look for the help of some simple models on the web, but at the end i just turned my own creativity on as well.
As a result, i showed the kids these primitive models of a man, hedgehog and mushroom. Some children liked them and tried to reproduce with me.
One more educational step was done.

@TypicalRussian Thank you, Milan was part of Austrian Empire, we have many Austrian words that we still use in our Milanese dialect.

It is so much fun to use natural materials to create images of things. A coworker back in the late 1990s gathered a lot of pine cones then put glitter and other colorful things on each and put them all together to resemble a Christmas tree, it was really very pretty.

That is cute artwork. I think artwork done with things from nature is the best.
