Simple, yet engaging. Both my 5yr old and my 3yr old minded child were enthralled for about half hour, just enough time to sort out tea :-)
All you need is:
Beads (I used a tub of children's plastic beads I bought off ebay)
Pipecleaners (I used thin pipecleaners)
And that's it.
Doesn't even have to be a table activity :-)
And the little hearts do look so pretty on our season table "tree".

Joxy these are fab! I will be trying this out with my kids tomorrow ... couldn't find the perfect moment or idea to craft with them today ... stitching felt hearts was the best I could conjure but their attentions were too wayward and short for that! x
I was suprised how much both kids really enjoyed making these. Rye has made 6 now. I confess though I wanted an activity that was easy to set up, did not need me to be too involved and was not messy... this fitted the bill :D And there was no fighting either! Yay!!!
Corrr - those are lovely! Great idea too - my rascals would love it!Might get them making other shapes now we're past VD... x
Those are fab! I might have to borrow that idea for the homeschool group :-)
