Let's Get Started
STEP 1
Gather color sorted beads in bowls or cups.
STEP 2
Have kids cut the length of necklace they want, leaving room to tie it off.
STEP 3
Have the kids tie a knot at one end of the string so that the beads don't slide off.
STEP 4
Ask kids to choose the number of colors they want in their necklace. The number of colors should be divisible by 2 to be divided into 100 evenly.
STEP 5
Depending on the number of colors a kid wants, they choose the number of beads per color to make a necklace of 100 beads.
STEP 6
Tie the necklace off at each end and tie the ends together.
