Nature Walk Bracelet



An easy addition to your next walk is a roll of sticky tape. Just form a roll of tape around the wrist sticky side out. Let children gather nature's little treasures and trinkets for their bracelet displays. (My sample pictured above is artificial flowers.) This activity is especially nice in the spring when things are blooming and growing and in the fall when colors are changing.

*Variation: Use craft materials such as foam letters and buttons to decorate your bracelets.

*Variation: Nature Found It Bags- Children put findings in a Ziploc or paper bag to bring home and get a closer look at. A magnifying glass adds to the teachable moments!

*Variation: Try leaf rubbings or sandwiching flat leaves or flowers between clear contact paper for placemats.
