Children are full of ideas and when I listened to two children's trip to the Bead Shop - I got excited too!
Beads can be made and we can learn different ways as to how we can make them.
So far, we have tried:
- Fimo - coloured modelling clay
- Egg carton pulp - whizzed and a bit of paste added
- Salt ceramic dough
Then, it is time to create with the beads - threading the different shaped and coloured beads involves decision making. We have just started making the bracelets and necklaces and as you can see - both boys and girls are involved!

This looks wonderful! Any chance you could post the recipe on the blog? Thank you, Lucy and Erin's mum.
Thanks Carla for pointing out that the blog was not allowing you to post comments. Between us we worked it out didn't we, and your comment is the very first family comment on our blog. So here is a virtual applause for you.
Well thank you! Back at you for setting it up in the first place.
Salt Ceramic Playdough
1.5 cups salt
3/4 cup cornflour
1 cup water
Mix the ingredients together in a pot, then cook over a low heat, stirring frequently until the mixture becomes solid. Turn out and knead immediately.
Roll into shapes and make beads. Make holes in shapes before playdough gets hard.
Try it out guys....
