How to DIY a bead crafts for your kids...without BEADS???

Hi, again.

The school holidays always seem too short for the kids and too long for moms..I mean ME!  After weeks playing in the house, outside the house..all over the house...now the girls started to get bored...

So, today...I create a new activities for them...Help Mom housekeeping the kitchen!!!  To make the activities more exciting and rewarding...I promise they can keep one 'treasure' from whatever they come across during the job.

I purposely 'hide' some 'rewards' in few drawers but...at the end..they seem to attracted to a bunch of old colorful straw and some odd shape bottles I kept in the shelf (Now, they REALLY found mom's JUNK  'treasure'!!!).  At first, they play pretend cooking with them and after few minutes...they get bored AGAIN!!!.


So, looking at the mess...What the heck..let's create SOME MORE MESS!!!  So, I introduce them to an "impromptu" project...err..craft...whatever to make them quiet for the next one hour at least!

So, I ask the girls to cut the straw into small short cubes





 Then I get some straw string from my storage...

There you go...a ZERO cost... Bead Crafts!!!!! Ta Daaaaaa....




 Have a nice day
