Simple Halloween Threading Activity Makes a Ring Shaker

Awesome ideas for threading don’t have to be complicated or take a lot of effort to pull together.   This threading activity is simple and a great way to use any of the extra Halloween rings or objects you find around your house this time of year.   We love simple threading activities like this at Kids Activities Blog because it also helps little ones work on fine motor skills, color recognition, and patterning… and can be worn as a necklace too!

Simple threading activity for kids

Materials Needed:

• several Halloween rings in a variety of colors (and styles if you have them- bats, spiders, etc.)
• a glowstick necklace (there are tons in the Target $1 aisle right now!)
• masking tape

How to make an awesome DIY threading necklace

1. Tape one end of the glowstick to a flat surface like a table. This will ensure that it doesn’t move while little ones are adding the rings.
2. Start adding the rings onto the glowstick. Talk about the colors, shapes, and patterns your child is making while you create!
3. Once finished, close the glowstick necklace, turn on your favorite Halloween tunes, and dance around while moving your Halloween Ring Shaker. You can dance with it around your neck or while holding it in your hand!

Halloween rings are a choking hazard for little ones, so make sure that you supervise children when they are doing this threading activity.
