Macaroni Necklace
I found half a bag of Penne (pasta) in my store. Since I'm the only one at home who eat it, I decided to use it for something else to quickly finish it. :P
I gave my daughter a string and she eagerly starts threading them. She couldn't stop with just one necklace. She did 2! And 2 bracelets too!
For older kids, you can get them to paint the penne first. You will get very nice and colourful necklaces instead.
Materials needed:
- Penne Pasta (elbow pasta works well too)
- Strings, desired length.
How to do it:
- Help the child tie a penne pasta to one tie of the string, so the rest will not slip through.
- Let the child string the pasta one a time till he/she attain the desired length. Tape the end of the string with sticky tape if it's to 'soft' for the child to thread
- Help the child remove the end pasta and tie a knot to secure.
- Done. Your child can now wear his/her food.
