Preschool Bead Kit

String of beads and plastic box purse.

(For children over three years of age)

Makes a great big sister/big brother gift when the new baby arrives or a nice stocking stuffer.

Materials

  • 1 value-sized bag of assorted large wooden beads, natural or colored ones. (Holes in beads must be large enough for shoelace to pass through).
  • 1 package of colorful shoe laces

Instructions

  1. Select only the largest beads which will be easy for small hands to work with.
  2. Place beads and laces in zipper-style bag, small plastic container or gift bag. Decorate with stickers, if desired.
  3. Or, for a little girl, place bead kit in beaded purse or small clutch bag which you can often find in perfect condition for pennies at yard sales and thrift stores.

Do be careful with beads around young children. The round colourful ones look like gumballs and kids tend to put anything at all into their mouths.
