Seed Pod Bracelet
Not too long ago, I was watching a segment of one of our local morning talk shows. A representative from The Cleveland Metro Parks Zoo was talking about some of the educational activities hosted by the zoo. Seed Pod Bracelets was one of these activities I immediately thought that it would be a super companion activity to the Sock Walk I do with my students. You might like it also.

- various seeds, small twigs, dried leaves, moss, etc. collected on a nature walk
Procedure:

- Wrap the tape, sticky side out, around your wrist, securing the ends together.
- Stick the various seeds and other natural materials onto the tape covering its surface.
