Most kids love being outside, and toddlers are fascinated by everything around them, which is very refreshing. I like being reminded that ants and rocks are amazing. To help your budding naturalist, let him or her make a nature bracelet.ITEMS NEEDED
Clear packing tape
Scissors
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cut a piece of packing tape long enough to go around your child's wrist and overlap the ends with the sticky side of the tape up. While playing outside or on a walk, encourage your child to find differently shaped leaves, flower petals, grass blades, and more and stick them on his or her tape bracelet. When you are done, cover the bracelet with another piece of packing tape, sealing those natural treasures inside. Cut off of your child and let them use it as a bookmark or anything else their little heart desires.

Growing up we always did wax paper and then mom would iron it together- when you use leaves with a few crayon shavings it looks way cool!
ReplyDeleteI love your new blogs, Dev! I don't have any kid secrets yet but maybe one day I will and in the mean time, I'll steal everyone elses. Hooray!
