World Environment Day Wristbands is a creative and reflective resource that encourages students to express their environmental values while celebrating their role in protecting the planet. Designed to coincide with World Environment Day, these printable wristbands offer a fun, hands-on way for students to show their commitment to caring for the Earth.

The black-and-white designs allow for full customisation, making this activity suitable for all year levels. As students colour and decorate their wristbands, they’re invited to reflect on what the environment means to them and how their actions—big or small—can contribute to a healthier planet. Each wristband becomes a wearable pledge, combining creativity with personal responsibility and environmental awareness.
