Help The Children Thrive
I know we have a few sets of threading toys at home, but I still have to constantly think of new activities for them. Something new and that they get excited about. The thought of stringing macaronis to make necklace, bracelets and crown pops up in my mind. We have actually seen it on one of the Barney’s show.
All you need is assorted macaronis and tubular pasta, including the cart wheel pasta. If you can find those colorful ones , it will be more fun. Besides that you need yarn. To make the yarn end stiff and easy to slot the pastas in, just tap it with cellophane tape to make it stiff.
It didn’t even cost me a cent to make my kids happy.

Macaroni is fun. My kids keep pestering me to buy some for them to string.
Didn’t realise that you have so many blogs.
Long time never update this blog. Feeling so guilty
This is fun. I shall try it one day!
Err, how many blogs do you run?? I have been blog hopping and then I see some familiar faces. But it’s good, I get to read more about you write.
My toddler likes to play with macaronis too. He doesn’t string them though. He pushes them under the cupboard and sofa!!
