Snowy Bracelets

An easy activity for a winter playdate.  

Materials

• Elastic beading cord*
• Needle (optional)

Directions

• Cut lengths of cord for the number of children (plus a bit extra).

• Put out a variety of beads for children to make necklaces, bracelets etc. in a tray.

• Lace the beads on the cord.  (Some children, depending on their age and the size of the beads etc. may like a needle for this.)

• Enjoy making and wearing snowy bracelets!

Purpose

• Developing fine motor skills.
• Working together/ sharing materials (They could make a bracelet for each other.)

Safety Notes

• Beads can be a choking hazard.  Please keep them out of reach from children 0-3 years of age or those that tend to put things in their mouths.
• Exercise care with scissors. Use with adult supervision.
• String, cord etc. can be a strangulation hazard, thus they are not meant for play and should be used with supervision.
