Road Trip Idea: Snack Necklace

An activity and a snack all in one!

you'll need Materials

• 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!

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.

• 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!)

• Knot the 2 ends together.
• Once they are done- munch away!

Purpose

• Developing fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination.

Safety Notes

• Be sure to remove necklaces for play (e.g, on playground structures) to avoid strangulation and wear with direct supervision.
