Animal Necklaces – A Great Craft for Kids

What you will make:

My five year old boy is a BIG lover of farm animals and loves to collect them. To the point that we have boxes and boxes of little plastic animals all over the house. I’ve often wondered what on earth we’re going to do with them when he outgrows them… which is why this fun project caught my eye!

Sierra came up with the fabulous idea of turning small plastic animals into whimsical necklaces and they are so fun!

This would be the perfect craft for a group of friends to do together at a sleepover or play date.

They’d also make really unique party favours don’t you think?

You could even follow the steps and make key chains or bag charms as well as necklaces!

Which age group is this suitable for?
