Easy Mother’s Day Necklace

 We hosted a Mother’s Day Brunch this morning in my little 2-year-old class.

I wanted to make sure the kids made something super sweet and keepsake-y to give to their beloved mamas, so when I saw this idea over at Teaching 2 and 3 Year Olds, I knew it was meant to be!

Supplies:

Air-Dry White Clay

Pretty Beads

Circle Cookie Cutter

Pencil (one end must be flat)

Yarn

Rolling Pin

Can I just say I LOVE THIS STUFF?!?!

Seriously, you’re telling me I don’t have to bake it?  Yes, this just might be a dream come true.

You can find this awesomeness at Michael’s.

Step 1 – Have your child use the rolling pin to roll out a small lump of clay.

Step 2 – Press the circle cutter into the clay.  Remove the excess clay.

Step 3 – Poke the flat edge of the pencil into the top part of the circle.

Step 4 – Have your child press pretty-colored beads into the clay.  Allow to dry about 24 hours.

Step 5 – Thread some yarn through the small hole and give to a mother to wear!

So cute, right?

The Happy Buddy made one for Mom-Mom and one for Grammie.

You still have time to whip together a few of these beauties before Sunday.

Make sure you email me a photo of the results! 😉

Happy Easy Mother’s Day Necklace-ing!
