Instructions:
- Lay out a small pile of cereal on a clean surface.
- Tie a knot or tape one end of the string/pipe cleaner to prevent cereal from slipping off.
- Show your child how to thread cereal pieces one by one.
- Let them create a bracelet, necklace, or just a string of cereal!
- When finished, they can wear it, or simply admire their creation.
Tips:
- Use pipe cleaners for younger children—they’re easier to hold and thread.
- Encourage pattern-making, color sorting, or counting while threading.
- If your child isn’t ready to thread, let them explore the cereal by scooping, pouring, or stacking.
- Supervise closely—cereal can be a choking hazard, especially for children under 3.
- If using yarn, wrap a small piece of tape around the end to make it easier to thread.
