Craft Ideas Using Wristbands and Accessories

Craft activities are a cornerstone of school holiday entertainment. Wristbands can be incorporated into a range of creative projects:

• Decorate your own slap band: Stripe printed slap bands can be painted, drawn on with permanent markers, or embellished with stickers to create unique wearable art.
• Friendship bracelet swap: Use colourful silicone bands as the base for friendship bracelets exchanged between visiting friends or siblings.
• Wristband sort and count: Younger children can sort bands by colour, count them, and arrange them in patterns — a fun, tactile introduction to early numeracy.
• Scavenger hunt prizes: Use wristbands as prizes in a household or backyard scavenger hunt — different colours for different achievements.

Blah Bands: The Ultimate Silly School Holiday Accessory

Blah Bands bundles are a unique and playful wristband concept that children absolutely adore. Each pack contains a mix of shapes, sizes, and quirky designs that spark conversation, imagination, and creativity. Perfect for rainy days when kids need something novel to explore.

Outdoor Activity Ideas for School Holidays

Getting children outside during the holidays is always worth the effort. Here are some ideas that are easy to organise and genuinely engaging:

• Nature walk with a checklist: Create a simple checklist of things to spot — a red leaf, a bird, a round rock — and award a wristband colour for each item found.
• Backyard Olympics: Set up simple events — long jump, sprint, hoopla — and use wristband colours as medals.
• Mini farmer’s market: Let kids set up a stall selling pretend goods, using wristbands as “currency.”

Packing a Holiday Activity Kit

A well-stocked holiday activity kit can be a lifesaver during long breaks. Include a selection of wristbands in different colours and styles, colouring supplies, simple craft materials, and a custom lunch box for outdoor adventures. The emotion bracelet is also a great addition — it helps children identify and articulate their feelings, which can be particularly useful during the unstructured time of school holidays.
