Ready for a surprise? Your pantry is chock-full of good stuff for making jewelry. Here are a few suggestions.

Pasta can be strung on a piece of yarn or string to make bracelets, necklaces, headbands, and other finery.

To make a pin, glue the pasta onto a piece of cardboard, then tape a paper clip onto the back – and use the paper clip to attach the cardboard to your kids clothes. (Keep paper clips out of very young hands.)

To enhance your kid’s pasta craft sessions, pick out interesting macaroni shapes the next time you’re at the grocery store; look for stars, tubes, pin­wheels, etc.

You can also make the pasta more fun to work with by dyeing it with food coloring before assembling it on the string.

Other food items, like peanut shells, can also be used to make jewelry.

The finery can be worn by your kids, of course, but it can also serve to make a fashion statement with the stuffed-animal set.

Finally, don’t forget that jewelry can become art-your kids can make collages of their work rather than wearing it.

Let friends and relatives admire the creation!

 

Kitchen Finery is a fun Arts and Crafts activity that’s great for helping to develop your childrens hand-eye coordination and creative skills and abilities.
