Two weeks ago, Bridget and I were at the dollar store and I let her choose one toy.

She picked these foam beads that you string. She’s strung things before… wooden beads, and fruit loops… but I guess that foam beads were a fun new challenge and provided just enough variation to re-peak her interest.

She sat at the table for about half an hour stringing her beads.

Toward the end I had to help her a bit, but she was still pretty pleased with her completed necklace.

Apparently though, it looked a little bit like the fruit loop necklace she made before… or maybe it looked like a candy necklace… because she asked me if she could eat it. At least she asked.
