Midweek Creations - Stringing Cheerios

I love the look of homemade garland, but stringing popcorn or trying to get that paper to hold a ring long enough to string another one through it can be difficult for small toddlers. Stringing cheerios, though can be a lot of fun and will also provide a little snack for your toddler during craft time as well more than likely. The activity is pretty self explanatory, but you will probably want to make the beginning of the string stiffer so wrap a little tape around one end or attach it to a small pipe cleaner. If cheerios seem too challenging (they are still pretty small), try rolling some mini bagels in some peanut butter and then birdseed and have your toddler help string them on a piece of rope for the birds. This makes a very beautiful garland for outdoor evergreens and if you or your toddler is allergic to peanut butter you can use sunflower seed butter, honey, or even cream cheese. Enjoy and thanks for reading!
