Fruit Loop Necklaces

This activity is always a hit...use it to teach patterns (red, blue, green, red, blue green; yellow, yellow, purple, yellow, yellow, purple).  Use it for the letter N (for necklaces) or for the letter O since they are O shaped.   Or be creative and adapt it to whatever you're teaching... maybe you could make fruit loop snakes for the letter S?  Or use Apple Jacks for the letter A?  All you need is a pair of scissors, yarn or string, tape, and Fruit Loops.  Just tape off the end of the strings to help make it easier for the kids to thread the cereal.  This takes a few minutes, so it's helpful to do this step ahead of time, but be prepared to re-tape the ends as needed.
