- Take one end of your string and thread it through the hole you made
- Tie a knot to secure and repeat with the other side of the string
- Colour in or use stickers to decorate your binoculars.
Go on your own adventure...
Now, you’re ready to go on a bear hunt… or maybe you'll plan your own adventure!
- Go out for a walk and see what you can find, you might want to pack a bag of supplies together first, you could even draw a map!
