How to Make Duct Tape Nature Bracelets
Making Duct Tape Nature Bracelets can be a fun activity for nearly any age child. You will Need: Duct tape, any color will do. We used camouflage, just to give them an outdoor look. Miscellaneous tiny items from the outdoors, these might include; small acorns and other nuts, pine needles, small pine cones, small flowers, flower petals, small leaves, and feathers. You can gather these items ahead of time (good idea for younger kids), or send the child out to find them.
Measure your child’s wrist (where they would wear a bracelet) and cut or tear a piece of duct tape about an inch longer than that measurement.
Wrap the piece of duct tape around the child’s wrist, wrong side out so the sticky part is on the outside. Tape it to itself loosely, but not so loosely that it slips off.
Now you are ready to start sticking nature items on the duct tape. Keep sticking them on until no more duct tape shows or until no more will stick.
It’s fun to see all the different combinations and patterns of nature items the kids come up with. We have done this with preschoolers through teens. See more ideas and details on blog.
