Materials <\/h4>\n

String 
\nBlue pony beads 
\nRed and white striped straws 
\nScissors 
\nScotch tape <\/p>\n

\"\"Directions <\/h4>\n

Cut straws into one inch pieces and set them out with a small container of blue pony beads. Cut a piece of string long enough to fit over your child\u2019s head when tied. Leave a little extra for tying the finished necklace together. Tie a pony bead to one end of the string. This will keep the beads and straws from slipping off the string. For easier threading, wrap a piece of scotch tape on the other end of the string. Invite your child to thread beads and straw pieces onto the string. If interested, encourage your child to create a simple pattern. When your child has finished threading beads and straws, tie the ends of the string together to make a necklace. <\/p>\n

For younger children, try using pipe cleaners for threading rather than string. They can turn their finished creations into bracelets! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
