My Project

Help my kids get the supplies they need to make friendship bracelets and other jewelry for their friends and family.

Stringing beads teaches kids so many different skills that they need to learn and practice at this young age.

This activity teaches them fine motor skills, by trying to get the little beads on the string. The kids can use patterns when putting the different colors of beads on. Counting is important when making bracelets with beads and also sharing and being kind, by making them for their friends and family.
