Since the start of playschool, we have travelled to many different shops in the area of Little Portugal and beyond. We have really enjoyed going to the bead store, and looking at all the differnt types of beads- wood, plastic, glass, etc. One day, we went to the bead store and carefully selected some beads that we could use for various projects. After careful consideration of bead type and colour, we managed to find some great beads. We all sat together one Tuesday and started one of our many bead projects. 
Here are the beads we chose- some were made from plastic, some were wodden and we also got a beautiful selection of glass beads. We talked about warm and cool colours, and what the colours of the beads made us think of.
We bought a roll of hemp to help us create different things. Here a necklace is in the works.
The kids used different beads and different patterns to develop their own unique pieces. We talked about the fact that art and creating your own pieces and style is a fabulous thing because it represents you and we can each admire something different about one another's work/pieces.
For some of the pieces that were created, it took skill and patience as some of the beads proved to be slightly difficult to place onto the hemp. However, the kids exercised much patience while doing this activity.
