About This Project

A 10–20 minutes craft for ages 3–6, using supplies you likely already have — Scissors, Cheerios, and Ribbons.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Heart Cereal Necklace

    Your creative buddy says:
    "Let's stick together and make this one!"

    Heads up! Some supplies may trigger allergies. Check with a grown-up before using them.

    Step 1: Cut the ribbon

    Ask an adult to help you cut a piece of ribbon about 20 inches long. This will make sure the necklace can be taken on and off.

    Step 2: Tie a cereal to the end of the ribbon

    Tie one piece of cereal to one end of the ribbon. This will stop the other cereal pieces from falling off when you add them.

    Step 3: String the cereal

    Grab a handful of cereal and start stringing them onto the ribbon. Make a pattern if you want!

    Step 4: Tie the ends together

    When you are happy with your necklace, tie the two ends of the ribbon together. Now you have a cereal necklace!
