Food Friday: Edible Necklace

Are you looking for a fun snack for your toddler or preschooler? Remember those candy necklaces when you were a child? How about turning your own craft time into preparing an edible necklace.

Kids at this age develop skills in lacing and beading. Kids also at this age love to help prepare food, taking ownership in their accomplishments. So why not combine these fun activities to make an edible necklace.

Take some thin yarn, cutting it to the appropriate size (not tight or too long) of the child for a necklace. Lace some healthy snacks like cheerios or colorful alternatives like fruit loops by threading them on the string. Then tie the string around the child's neck for a snack on the go.

Kids will certainly love eating this activity.
