STRINGING BEADS 💎 WITH PIPE CLEANERS VS. STRING – A DISCOVERY MADE FOR TODDLERS! 🙌🏻

It’s possible that I’m late to the party and that everyone else knew this but me. But, in case you didn’t, pipe cleaner necklaces and bracelets are all the rage in my house right about now. 💎

For months I have given B every thickness of string I could find and have added tape to the tip to help her lace it through the hole (this method helps A LOT). But when she opened the craft box her Aba gave her for her 3rd birthday and saw those sparkly beads, she instantly wanted to string them and I was at a loss with her frustration. Short of doing it myself (which would be a missed learning opportunity entirely), I decided to try a long shot idea and stuffed a pipe cleaner through the bead’s hole. Guys, it fit!!! 🤗 I was amazed and my reaction was so big that B wanted a turn. And guess what? She was successful! 🙌🏻 She was so proud of herself, and the next thing I knew, she was making jewelry for the entire family.
