What You Will Need
Straws Ikea soda staws and milkshake straws in assorted colours.
I used 4 straws of each colour
Ribbon; 12” length; add several strands.
A plastic bin with a clip on lid
AmazonBasics Multipurpose Scissors – 3-Pack
Assorted Bright Colors Jumbo Smoothie Straws, Pack of 100 PiecesUnicorns Animals (12 per package)
Let’s Make It
Cut your straws by colour in assorted lengths.
As you cut the straws add it to the plastic bin to layer the colours!
I layered the colours to try and look like a rainbow to give it a bright and bold effect.
Tie a knot one on end of the ribbons.
Depending upon the width of your ribbon you may want to add several knots so that the straws will not slip off.
Add a few unicorn figurines for fun!
With supervision, allow your child to explore the texture and colours of the straws in the bin and thread them onto the ribbon.
Enjoy!
