Gift for a sibling

Children craft a beaded elastic bracelet as a small token of affection for a brother, sister, or cousin.

Steps

1. We talk about what colours and styles our siblings appreciate.
2. Children pick matching bead colours the recipient will enjoy.
3. They string beads onto elastic cord and tie a firm knot.
4. They slip the bracelet into an envelope decorated with a drawing.

Tip: Chunky wooden beads are far easier for little hands to thread.

Materials needed

• Large wooden beads (1 pack)
• Elastic bracelet cord (1 spool)
