Kid Friendly: A Necklace for Mom!

A Necklace for Mom!

This is a really sweet and simple project that's perfect for young children. The best part is it's really easy, quick, fun, and all you need are a few scraps of paper, scissors, a toothpick, some thread (or dental floss), a needle, and a glue stick. The beads are made from construction paper, and are surprisingly strong and beautiful!

Materials needed:

---Several pieces of construction paper (multi-colored)
---Scissors
---A toothpick
---A gluestick
---A needle and thread

Step 1 Step 1 - Cutting

Cut strips of construction paper, from each color, that vary in width. You can also cut out triangles, for even more bead-shape variation!

Very good. I've made one before.

Who needs construction paper? Try all that shiny "junk mail" or catalogs. Makes very colorful beads that can be glued with clear drying glue and become quite hard and shiny and very realistic/

Like the simplicity of this craft. Another fun site that's great for preschoolers is Ziggity Zoom ... with tons of free printables, crafts and activities.
