Bead threading
Set your little one up nearby and get ten minutes to chill with your coffee.
Things you'll need
- Beads with large holes
- Pipe cleaners
What to do
- Twist one end of a pipe cleaner so the beads won't fall off
- Show bubba how to thread a bead onto a pipe cleaner
- Coffee!
Using pipe cleaners instead of something more flexible makes it super easy for your littley to learn how to thread those beads on. Which makes it much more likely you'll get to actually finish that cuppa!
Ideas for further play
- When bubs has got the hang of threading the beads onto pipe cleaners you can progress to something more flexible like jute twine
- Use these new-found skills to make beaded bracelets to wear (especially great for dress-ups)!
