Pasta Jewelry Shop

The elf opened a jewelry shop with bowls of tube pasta, yarn and markers. Today's special: make a necklace for someone you love.

Instructions

Put tube-shaped pasta (penne or rigatoni) in two or three small bowls.
Cut pieces of yarn about 24 inches long and wrap a little tape around one end so it threads like a needle.
Set out washable markers so kids can color the pasta first.
Make a small "Elf Jewelry Shop: open today" sign and prop it next to the elf.
Have the elf wear one finished necklace as a sample.
Let the kids string their own and give one away as a gift.

Tip: Dry pasta pieces are small, so keep this for kids old enough not to put things in their mouths.
