You can make you own beading fun at home with some dry pasta, food colouring and vinegar.
Add half a cup of dry pasta (we chose penne) to a zip-lock plastic bag.
Add 10-15 drops of food colouring and ½ teaspoon of vinegar.
Shake till the food colouring has spread evenly on the pasta. Tip onto a sheet of baking paper to dry.
Rinse the bag and add another ½ cup of pasta and your next colour.
We made up four colours and used the stiff beading string to make necklaces, bracelets, anklets, or whatever the kids can think of.
A great craft idea that helps with fine motor skill development.
