Last month at the preschool we made glass bead icicles. Each child selected their beads and got a piece of fish line with a knot in the end to string them on. I also gave each child a square of wool to set their beads on so they would not roll all over the place. Once they were satisified with how their icicle looked, I tied the top with a loop for hanging.
This was a great exercise in using those fine motor skills.
Most of the children were excited to hang them on their trees at home and they also look quite fetching hanging in the window where they can catch the winter light.
