This is a great activity to get the kids playing outdoors. You could even turn this into a fun party game/challenge, and award a prize for the best bracelet.
First, you’ll need some tape. You can use duct tape, parcel tape or masking tape. Simply wrap it around your wrist until it overlaps to form a ring – you may need to get a grown-up to help you here. Oh, and make very sure you do this with the sticky side on the OUTSIDE; otherwise the only bit of nature stuck to your bracelet will be every single hair on your wrist. Ouch!
Now, as you go for your walk, you can look out for natural objects with which you can decorate your bracelet. You could decide on a colour theme, or perhaps collect a rainbow of colours from red to violet.
If you want to keep your bracelet for longer you could cut it off when you get home and use sticky-backed plastic to seal in the objects. To finish, puncture a hole at either end so you can retie it with a piece of ribbon or string to form a bracelet.
Tip: Try to cover as much of the tape as you can.
