Magic wands are amazing, the most magical thing you can find in the woods today.

How can you find a magic wand I hear you ask?

Well, let me tell you a secret, each magic wand is only magic because of how it is made.

First, you must find a stick as long as your arm.

Once you have found your stick you will need some string or elastic bands, (double-sided sticky tape will also work)

Next, you need to search around for magical (natural) items that will give your wand special powers. ( I like big leaves and colourful flowers)

Once you have collected your magical items you need to ask an adult to help you tie or stick them on your stick. They can be all over your stick to help it be super magical.

Each item adds to the magic, so put lots on.

Now you need a magic word, the magic word can be anything but only the person holding their wand can decide what their magic word is.

Ready, steady… let’s hear those magic words and you can cast a spell.

 

If you have any ribbon or fabric then you could attach that to your wand too and watch it blow in the wind.

 

Be careful not to turn any brothers or sisters into frogs!
