This activity is a great way of recycling old magazines whilst strengthening our fine motor skills.
What You Need:
– Old magazines
– A thin paintbrush or twig
– Glue stick
– A piece of elastic or string
To Make It:
1) Tear a small strip of the magazine. The wider the strip, the wider your bead; the longer the strip, the fatter your bead).
2) Wrap tightly around the paintbrush and secure with a dab of glue.
3) Carefully slide off the brush
4) Once you have enough, you can begin threading onto your string or elastic.
5) Tie the end of the string/elastic.
