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.
A good idea would be making a friendship bracelet. You can ask your kids to do one and give it to the friend that they value the most. Or, they can also do as much as they can and give each one for her friends and some important people. Here are some 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.
Cut the floss into 3 foot long. Then, line them up and tie a knot about 4 inches on the ends. Place it into the clipboard to secure it. To do so, you may use a tape. Then you can separate each of them.
To begin with, you do a basic diagonal stripe. Take the initial strand and place it over the second one. Take the second strand tight using your other hand so it can be the base strand. Loop the initial one around with the other. Then pull both following the opposite direction so you can create a knot. All you need to do after that is to keep repeating it until you can finish your second knot.
You must continue doing it until you will be able to do more strands. After that, loop it all again around the next base and start another tie. Just keep repeating it so you can make 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.
It is also great to praise her. Let her know that what she did is fantastic. It would make them feel even more eager to do more. Let her know that it is really very beautiful and that her friends would love to have one for sure.
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.
