(1 Ratings) | Making a necklace out of chunky pasta tubes or cut-up drinking straws |
Method Description: | Skills developed: motor skills, sorting and stringing, painting play, concentration Materials needed: string, penne (or other tube) pasta and/or plastic drinking straws, children's paint, two or three empty plastic pots, a spoon, kitchen roll, newspaper and scissors Description: Lay newspaper on the table, then put sheets of kitchen paper over it. Squeeze some paint of each colour you've chosen into a different plastic cup. Put some pasta into each cup, stir it around, then remove it with the spoon and lay on the kitchen paper to dry. If you're using straws, cut up two or three into short lengths. Once the pasta is dry, cut a piece of string long enough to make an adult's necklace, with enough extra to tie at the back. Hold the string at one end so the pasta tubes can't fall off, while your toddler threads the beads. (Tip: wrapping a piece of sticky tape around the end of the string will prevent it from fraying and make it easier to thread.) Tie the ends of the string together to make a beautiful, colourful necklace. |
