Today's Activity
Nature Bracelet

Stream 2

Take a piece of thick masking tape and loosely wrap the child's wrist, sticky side out with tape.  Take your child on a walk and allow them to stick what they find to their bracelet.  Leaves, feathers, small pieces of gravel, flowers, let their imagination run wild.  When you return from the walk ask them questions about their bracelet. 
 
Where did you find that?
What color is that?
Did anything not stick?
Why do you think it didn't stick?
Can we count how many (leaves) are on your bracelet?
 
This activity promotes memory skills, an interest in science and nature, observational skills and math skills.
