A Birthday Bead Gift

More Creative Ideas for Kids

After last week's post about Chalk Art, we thought it'd be fun to explore more creative ideas that you and your children can explore. And so this week we look at Beads!

Pictures found on Pinterest

As you can see, beads can be put to many fun and creative uses. You can make bead necklaces, bead bracelets, bead mobiles, bead key rings...

A Birthday Bead Gift

Here's a funtabulous idea! Why not have all your party guests add their bead of choice to a necklace for the birthday child?

It would be a very special gift indeed, something to treasure and a wonderful way to encourage the children to create and share.

As beads contain small parts adult supervision is always recommended. We suggest beads are only used with the age-group indicated in the safety instructions of the beads.

Share your bead art photos with us! Email us the photos and we'll publish them on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus!
