An activity and a snack all in one!

Materials

Road Trip Idea: Snack Necklace from make-it-your-own.com

  • Laces
  • Circular cereal

TIP: We use these flexible “desks” that have a strap that attaches to your child’s seat if you do this in the car.  They provide a work surface that is safety tested.  Do prepare yourself for a bit of mess, but if they are eating snacks that may be the case anyways!

This travel desk is awesome!

Directions

  • Purchase laces (these are often at craft stores in the beading section or educational stores).  You could also use a pair of new shoe laces or yarn with a bit of clear tape wrapped on the ends.)
  • Tie a knot at one end.

KnotNecklace

  • Give your child a small container of cereal for them to put on the lace to form a necklace. (We recommend giving a bit a time in case there are any spills!)
