Vacation from school is really amazing for kids. Getting away with all the stresses and tasks from school and the time to relax is just overwhelming for them. Some of them might want to go out and have swimming, plan a trip or some just wants to stay home and do something really fun with the whole family. A good idea would be making some arts and crafts with the kids. This will not just make your summer vacation extra fun, it will also be add some extra bond to the family. You can have all the materials available at any online arts and crafts store.
Bonding with the kids through educational and productive activities is really great. It makes the relationship even more close and the creativity of the children will be developed. Making friendship bracelets will make their relationship with friends also improve. They will also be more thoughtful and could improve their interaction skills. Let us get started with these instructions on how to do it.
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.
The first step would be to cut the floss to 3 foot long. Line all your floss according to the color sequence you want and tie 4 inches of it on the end. Secure it on the clipboard using the tape. After that, separate each of them.
Now you are ready to do the actual labor. Start by doing basic diagonal stripes. Take the very first strand and put it on top of the next one. Get the second and hold it tight using your hand and make it the base strand. Loop it around with the the knot that you have made with the first strand of floss. Next thing you need to do is pull it to the other direction to create a knot. Then just keep going with this step.
Continue doing so until you can come up with series of good strands and knots. Loop it again and again then create a new tie. Do so until you are ready for the next layer.
You must extend your patience during the whole process since you are dealing with kids. As much as possible, let them focus on what they are doing but never bore them. They should be guided all the time especially because one of the tools in making this bracelet which is the scissor is not so safe for them.
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 does not just serve as something to do on summer but also a great to bond with your kids. Aside from giving it out to some friends, you can also use it as a business. It will be so much fun to make it and earn together. Keep that special bond you have with them by making something really great.
