Simple as That

Making Everyday Beautiful

Painted Walking Stick

Monday, August 29, 2016

Hi everyone, this is Jennie again from The Lovely Little Nest, with a fun little craft for the kids, a painted walking stick.  Every time we go out for a walk, my two-year-old wants a walking stick, even if we are in the middle of the city with no sticks to be found.  We went hiking on the weekend and she found the perfect one, so we took it home to keep and then painted it to make it even more special for her.

Add some color to your next nature hike with a DIY painted walking stick. This craft is so simple it would be perfect for camping or at home!

This is such an easy project for little ones, and you don’t need much to complete it, which is also fantastic.

Supplies:

Walking Stick

Painter’s Tape

Paint

Paint Brush

Instructions:

1.  Tear of pieces of painter’s tape and place it on the stick in any design.  Since my two year old was mostly doing this step, it was more of a random pattern, and it turned out greater than if I had placed the tape every so carefully in a perfect sequence.  I love the carefree feel of it.

2.  Once all your tape is on the stick and pressed down quite firmly, pick some colours and get painting.

Now all you have to do is go for a nature walk!  The other bonus about painting this stick is that it’s nice and bright, and will keep wandering kiddos more visible as they explore and wander with their new favorite walking buddy.
