Threading Pasta Necklaces
Captain A will help you learn: Threading tube pasta onto a lace is brilliant for hand-eye coordination and patience, and lining up colours in a repeating pattern is an early step towards understanding sequences and maths.
⚠️ Keep the string short and never leave your child alone wearing the finished necklace, as loops of string around the neck are a strangling risk; supervise closely.
