Easy and Fun Nature Walk Bracelets for Kids
Are you looking for more ways to get your kids outside having fun? If you’re like me, the answer is pretty much always yes. We recently spent some time outside making these nature walk bracelets, and it was fun, easy, and they turned out really pretty!

Preparing Your Bracelets
The only material you need for this activity is clear packing tape (get some here if you don’t have any at home!). And setup is ridiculously easy, too - create your child’s bracelet by putting the tape inside out around their wrist. You want the sticky part of the tape facing out, NOT toward their skin.
Aside from your packing tape bracelets, my five year old decided to bring a magnifying glass out with us, and that was a fun addition, too! (If you want to be really extra, this Kids’ Explorer Kit from Amazon looks really fun and is well priced.)
Decorating Your Nature Bracelets
All you need to do to create a beautiful bracelet is find different nature elements and stick them on your bracelet!
We headed outside and barely made it past the front door when both of my girls spotted some flowers and started investigating. Ella whipped out her magnifying glass to get a closer look, and Ruthie (my 17 month old) was intrigued by all of the different textures.

Not surprisingly, Ruthie’s bracelet didn’t last long. I helped her take it off after about three minutes, and she was happy to walk around exploring on her own.
Ella and I had fun finding different colored flowers in our yard, and I love how she arranged them, along with some leaves for variety!
These bracelets obviously aren’t meant to be worn long-term, so when we came inside, Ella cut hers off and laid it out flat in her room. It looks beautiful laid out, too! The wheels are already turning in my head - maybe we’ll turn this into a bookmark!
