Twirly dangly earrings for littl'uns! ( and trees, and penguins )

This is a really cheap, fun and simple project, suitable for preschoolers upwards.

You'll need 4 things:

coloured straws
pipe cleaners
scissors
string


Cut the straws into 'beads', thread them on to the pipe cleaners - great practice for little fingers. Twirl the pipe cleaner into a spiral and tie a length of string or ribbon on - 
ta-da.....hang them on your ears!

Cut up a selection of coloured straws into beads - use a deep bowl if you can, they go flying everywhere like popcorn!

Isla made a lovely pair of pendants for her handmade felt penguin!

We made them outdoors at Wood School this morning and hung them in the trees

We've hung ours on a chest of drawers, they are really cheerful!
