St. Patrick’s Day is almost here and what better way to celebrate than by making a Lucky Charm Necklace! This fun and easy craft is perfect for kids of all ages and can be made with just a few simple materials. Kids will love making their own lucky charm necklace and wearing it proudly on St. Patrick’s Day.

Materials Needed:

Assorted Cereal

String or Ribbon

Scissors

White Glue

Instructions:

1. First, gather your materials. You will need a variety of cereal or other small objects that can be strung onto a necklace. Lucky Charms are perfect for this craft, but you can also use Cheerios, Fruit Loops, or any other small cereal.
2. Cut a piece of string or ribbon that is long enough to go around your child’s neck, leaving a little extra for tying. You can use any type of string or ribbon that you like, but be sure it’s strong enough to hold the weight of the cereal.
3. Tie a knot at one end of the string or ribbon to prevent the cereal from falling off.
4. Begin stringing the cereal onto the string or ribbon. You can do this in any order you like, but it’s fun to try to make patterns or spell out words with the cereal.
5. Keep adding cereal until the necklace is the desired length. Once you’ve reached the desired length, tie a knot at the end of the string or ribbon to keep the cereal from falling off.
6. If you want to make the necklace more secure, you can add a dab of glue or tape to each cereal piece to keep it from sliding around.
7. Once the glue or tape has dried, your lucky charm necklace is ready to wear!
