Stringing wooden beads is a playful and educational activity that promotes the development and encouragement of various important skills in young children:
Stringing requires precise hand movements that promote fine motor skills. This contributes to the development of dexterity and hand-eye coordination, which are later necessary for writing, playing and other tasks.
When stringing, children need to practise concentration and patience in order to string the beads or objects. Children will need these skills later to succeed in school and learn other complex skills later in life.
Children can let their imagination run wild when stringing by combining different colours, shapes and patterns.
Twist the chenille wire at one end so that no bead can slip down. Thread beads onto the chenille wire as desired. Apply a little handicraft glue to the end and plug it into a large pompom. Apply glue to the wobbly eyes and stick them to the large pompoms. Cut a narrow strip from the felting for the tongue. In our example, it is 4 mm wide and between 3-5 cm long.
To glue the tongue on, spread the fibres of the pompoms slightly apart. Add a little handicraft glue and press the felt strip into it. Then put the fibres back together again.
