Making beaded bracelets (and necklaces) is a great handicraft activity for kids (and adults). The finished product can be gifted to loved ones, shared with friends, or just enjoyed as a colorful accessory.

But stringing beads can be difficult for kids who haven't yet mastered some of those necessary fine motor skills. We’ve come up with a way to help the littlest of crafters join in the fun and make handmade beaded bracelets.

This simple tape-resist watercolor card can be made by kids from preschool age on up and is perfect for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparent’s Day, Teacher Appreciation, or any other occasion.
