Preparing Your Child for Preschool: Fun Preschool Craft Project / Activity

An important part of preparing your child for preschool or kindergarten involves encouraging creativity. One way that you can do so is with the use of beads. Making a bracelet or necklace with your child is a fun preschool activity. It is also one that is easy and relatively affordable.

Personally, we purchased a large pack of colored beads from Wal-Mart, for around $5. The string that we used came from the Dollar Tree. The only other supply you need is a pair of scissors.

Have your child string the beads, after you tie a knot at one end. They can just start adding beads onto their string, but they can also create a pattern with your help.
