Nature Wands | Enriched Children

Nature wands are a fantastic way to spend some time outdoors, be a little crafty and use a wonder of imagination.  Let your kids go wild with creativity and imagination!

My son decided his nature wand would be a fairy wand. It could also be a magic wand or really anything your children can think up!

It's so simple to do too!  Find a stick outside and wrap it in colourful thread from bottom to top.  I secured the thread simply with a knot.  You could also use yarn.  Choose as many or as little colours as you'd like- let your child be the judge!

Another fun extension to this activity is to add a flower or small branch to the end of the nature wand to give it that extra special nature feel!  You could also try turning these into nature brushes and try painting with different types of branches or dandelions that you've secured to the end.

There are so many possibilities with this simple activity, so...have fun creating and imagining together!
