If it is difficult for you to see how I did mine because of the clear nylon string, head over to her post where it is very easy to see how it is done. We found 6 different cereals to play with, but if you just wanted say, Froot Loops, I recommend having the kids help sort the colors individually into each bowl. Thanks goes to Paula at Virginia Sweet Pea for this method– I looked at her beautiful clay heart garland to see how she “sewed” hers together with ribbon. These necklaces quickly became a hit with children, who loved the idea of being able to wear and eat their jewelry. I’ve got 2 kids so I bought 5 or 6 of each item-assuming that they will eat or break a few in the jewelry making process.

I feel like my level of exhaustion has reached new heights, and it’s been hard to feel inspired to play in new and fun ways with my kids. They do however love dried fruit so I thought it would be fun to recreate a candy necklace without using candy.I don’t have videos of parents in them because I was otherwise occupied but I did get one of my husband in the 4th slide. We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved. This edible necklace is my take on the candy necklaces that we all enjoyed in the 70s, 80s, and 90s – are they still around? Of course — In brown paper packages all tied up with string… But as it always seems, the night before, we fell short of ingredients for everything!
