Pantry Boredom Buster

Emily kept herself happily occupied by crafting up several rainbow necklaces using a few items from the pantry — some colored cereal, and some cotton kitchen twine. Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!

To make the beading a bit easier, I added some tape to the end of the string (almost like a shoelace). Beading is a great activity for developing fine-motor skills, and can be used to practice pattern recognition too.

So pretty!!

    Dear Valerie,

    That must have been a treat for the girls — we almost never have that fruity cereal in our house!

    Love,
    Mark

    And if you’re hungry while you’re out, it’s a quick snack 🙂
