In our continuation of making Christmas crafts I popped a huge bowl of popcorn, pulled out some plastic pony beads, and some fishing line to make some garland. A & I did this project together and the results are cute.
A started putting the popcorn on the fishline by threading through each piece.
I told her she could add beads to the garland which she actually preferred. She found it challenging to use the small threading needle which got a little slippery from the oil used to pop the popcorn. I tried using some larger plastic needles but they would split the pieces of popcorn. I’m sure it would have helped had the needles been a bit larger.
Our adjustment was that she would hand me the popcorn pieces that I would thread, she would then add the plastic pony bead. It was fun and she enjoyed seeing the garland get longer. I think her favorite part was putting it on the tree. It was so cute to watch her decorate their tree. She just oozed confidence when decorating it.
Nurturing young minds one day at a time.
