    1. Have your child line up beads in order to be strung. You can write the message on a paper and match the letters.

    2. Tie a slip knot at one end or tie around a bead to keep others from slipping off.

    3. String the beads.

    4. Tie a double knot and put a drop of glue to make extra secure.

    5. Tie onto clip or ring of your choice

    TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

  • Write your message with extra space between words so you have room to line up beads to be placed between the words. Read the words together and identify each letter.

    • OTHER IDEAS

    Add Charms

    Add charms to the keychain/clip.


    EDUCATIONAL NOTE

    Mother's Day is relatively modern, and has been celebrated from about the start of the 20th century. In countries other than the United States, mother's day is also celebrated however, it may be on a different day because of the different origins. In the UK it is called Mothering Sunday and some countries refer to is as International Women's Day. If you have a special note on Mother's Day, please feel free to share it with us! We love to learn new things.
