Heart Necklaces

Materials:

Red construction paper
Straws
Yarn
Tape
Pencil or hole punch

Preparation:

Cut approximately eight 3 x 7.5cm hearts out of red
construction paper for each child. In the center of the
hearts, use a pencil point or hole punch to make
holes that are slightly smaller than the holes in the
straws you are using.
Cut straws into 11/4 cm sections. For each child, cut
a piece of 18-45 cm. Tie a straw section at one end
and tape the other end to make a "needle."

Method:

Let the children make necklaces by stringing the
hearts between the straw sections on their pieces of
yarn. Have them begin and end their necklaces with
a section of straw. Tie the yarn ends together when
the children have finished.
