There are a lot of things that you and your little one can do this summer. School is over, so remember to let your child experience summer the fun and exciting way. A good idea to spend the season together is making some crafts. There are a lot of online arts and crafts store where you can buy the materials. It is always fun and so much more exciting when you make it more productive and artistic.
This will also be a good thing to do with your little ones. Making a friendship bracelet will make them treasure their friends even more. They will be more thoughtful and could even be more generous. This project really is an all in one thing. Here are the steps on how to do it so you can get started.
You can use 4 strands of floss or more depending on the design and color combination you want. But, since you will be doing it with your child, it is best to have 4 strand pattern so it will be easier to them. Prepare your scissor, clipboard and a masking tape which will hold the floss while you are making it.
Cut the floss into 3 foot long. Then, line them up and tie a knot about 4 inches on the ends. Place it into the clipboard to secure it. To do so, you may use a tape. Then you can separate each of them.
Create a diagonal stripe. Get the first strand and put it on top of the second. Hold the second floss tight and make it as the base strand. Then, loop the initial floss around the second one. Pull them together towards the opposite direction to create a knot.
You must continue doing it until you will be able to do more strands. After that, loop it all again around the next base and start another tie. Just keep repeating it so you can make the next layer.
As you can see, the steps to do it will just keep repeating till you can make one full bracelet out from it. All you actually need to do is make sure that you guide your child all the time. Be more patient since they sometimes have too much questions. Make sure that you will be able to correct whatever it is that they have done wrong while doing it so they will not be disappointed with the outcome.
Look at the good things that they have done. If you think they deserve to be awarded for it, then do so. It makes them feel like they want to do it all again and do something else which is even more productive. Praise them as much as possible.
This sure will not just be an ordinary summer vacation. This is something that your kids would love to do every time they have time to. Another good idea with it is to sell it out and make money out from it which you can use to buy something for your industrious kids. Enjoy your whole vacation together.
