Pending the age you would be working with but I'm going to say preschool age say 3-5 for this activity why not take the children outside for a nature walk, you could talk to the children about the range of things outside that you see in nature the children could collect leaves, bark, flowers, etc whiles walking around outdoors once this is complete the children could then go in doors and use the items they have found to create a collage.
with children in a junior primary school setting you could also do this however you could discuss symmetry in nature whiles walking around the schools outdoor area things such as leaves, butterflys etc are symmetric you could then go on to discuss other things that are symmetric also this is following year three learning content
Identify symmetry in the environment (ACMMG066)

I hope this is what you are looking for
