Craft: Valentine's Necklace
The kids colored a cardstock heart that had been hole-punched. They then strung it onto curling ribbon along with some pony beads.
Literacy Extensions:
- After reading Animals Should Definitely NOT Wear Clothing, ask your child to come up with more animals and reasons for why they would not be able to wear clothes.
- Have your child practice picking out outfits. Give them occasions (i.e. - holiday, party, season, etc.) and then have them pick out an outfit that would be appropriate.
Notes:
I use curling ribbon we're making necklaces as it is easier for the kids to string things onto. The ribbon stays stiff so it is easier to string things on. It is also thick enough that pony beads will not slide off once they are on the ribbon.
