Here and There Hiking Stick
Here’s a project that will get you shaking a stick! Create a portable record of your hiking and walking adventures.
1. Why use a walking stick? In earlier times, kings and popes carried sticks as status symbols. Now walkers and hikers use them everyday. In Europe, Australia, and the United Kingdom, people collect small metal badges from new towns, historic sites, or paths that they ramble through. They nail the badges on their sticks to record their journeys.
2. You can keep track of wherever you and your walking stick go, too. Select a sturdy stick that’s fallen on the ground. Peel off the bark. Ask an adult for assistance with a sharp knife if needed. Sand the stick smooth with sandpaper.
3. With Crayola® Markers, draw symbols, logos, or other graphic reminders of everywhere you hike with your walking stick. What a wonderful tool for sharing your outdoor experiences with others!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
