Make a necklace

Making necklaces and bracelets is a brilliant way to have fun but it is also a great way to develop your little one's dexterity.

You can buy large beads or buttons from the Early Learning Centre which they can thread onto coloured threads or wool. I remember letting my kids just play with my spare button box.

Remember to tape the end to make it easy to thread and at the other end to stop all the beads from falling off! Also, make sure they are old enough not to put the beads in their mouth.
