This was a big hit with her and I highly recommend it as an activity for any toddler. It's practically free, uses things you have on hand, and poses great learning opportunities.
To make the bracelet, you take a long piece of scotch tape and attach it around your toddler's wrist with the sticky side out. The sizing needs to correspond with your toddler's wrist because if it's too loose it will fall off, and if it's too tight it will annoy her.
Next, you take a little nature walk and find interesting leaves, sticks, flower petals, etc. and attach them to the tape.
We just played in the backyard since there aren't leaves falling here yet. We picked some grass, and used a few leaves we did find, and lots of flowers from trees that are right against our fence.
Isabella LOVED it! She played for a long time with her "flo-wees". I think when we visit the panhandle for Thanksgiving we will do this activity again with the fall foliage.
When we finished collecting for our bracelets, Isabella had fun pulling the items off and hiding them in different spots, especially the hidden compartment on her Barbie trike. She would say, "Where flo-wee?" and then open the lid and shout "a-dah!"
In other news, Orian is being tested for TAG today, on the recommendation of his teacher. He started choir yesterday, and if he ends up in TAG, he's going to be a very busy guy this year! Xavier is in a TAG class this year and he has a crazy amount of homework. Fun stuff, but a lot of work!
