Looking to get your kids in the kitchen? This DIY candy jewelry makes a great gift, and would be the perfect addition to any girlie birthday party! You can even take it to another level by having them decorate boxes to present them in.
Colorful ribbon or string is ideal for necklaces and bracelets, while pipe cleaners are pliable to form rings. Have fun making single pendants, matching sets, and mixing textures.
Besides allowing your little ones’ creativity to shine, this project encourages hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills while teaching colors, patterns and repetition. It’s even fun for the grown-ups! I mean, I can imagine…
