Who this list is for
Teachers and parent volunteers can use this classroom friendship bracelet supply list to set up an activity for 20 children. The bead choices should fit the age group, with large-hole alphabet beads and pony beads that are easy to handle.
How to use this list
Set out bead sorting trays first, then divide the embroidery floss, elastic cord, alphabet beads, and pony beads among tables. Put a clipboard board and printed knot instruction card at each child’s work spot. Use masking tape to secure cord or floss to the clipboard while children start a bracelet.
Common mistakes
Avoid placing all 1,000 pony beads and 500 alphabet beads in one shared pile. Small portions in sorting trays are easier to choose from and easier to clean up. Do not forget to label paper bags before bracelets are collected; names prevent finished work from being mixed up. Choose only age-appropriate beads for the participating children.
