How it works

  1. 1

    First, let's prepare our string. Show your child how to hold the scissors with thumb in the small hole and fingers in the larger one. Help your child cut a piece of yarn about as long as your arm.

  2. 2

    Now let's thread our pasta! Show your child how to hold one end of the string steady while picking up a piece of pasta with the other hand. Watch how your child coordinates both hands to thread the pasta onto the string.

  3. 3

    Let's make a pattern! Ask your child to create a repeating pattern with the pasta. Maybe two plain pieces, then one colored piece if you decorated some. Watch how your child plans and executes the pattern.

  4. 4

    Time to finish our jewelry! Help your child tie the ends of the string together. Show how to make a simple knot or let your child try while you assist. Watch the finger movements for knot-tying.
