Here are fun projects children from ages 5 to 10 will enjoy. When I was little my mother would have us make these fun necklaces and bracelets. They use to sell these in the stores when I was little. I learned a lot from my mother on how to save money and make fun projects myself, instead of buying them. I used to make these with the children I babysat for. Most of the things you will need you will probably have at home already. If not, go to a dollar store and pick these things up a lot cheaper than from a grocery store or even Walmart.
Art Supplies Needed
Yarn any color Scissors
Froot Loops Cereal Cheerios
Life Savers Candy Mint or Flavored in Multiple Colors
1. First, cut your yarn to the size of a necklace or a bracelet.
2. Second start stringing on your Life Savers candy. Use all one color or use the multi-colored Life Savers Candy.
3. If you want to have your candy stay in place, loop them at multiple places to make a nice designed necklace or bracelet.
4. For the younger children use Cheerios cereal for less sugar to make a necklace of the bracelet.
5. I like using the multi-colored Froot Loops cereal. Again if you want to make a design, loop your cereal to create a cute bracelet or necklace.
6. When done, wear for a while then if you get hungry just start eating your candy or cereal off your necklace or bracelet.
7. Repeat the whole process all over again to make a new design.
When I was little they use to sell these at Kmart. But they were a little expensive to buy very often. Why not make these necklaces and bracelets yourself and save some money. You can make these for pennies yourself and have a lot of fun in the process. Let your children or grandchildren experiment with the different candies and cereals to mix and match them. I hope you have fun making and eating these necklaces and bracelets from Suzie Homemaker.
