Starting near the tip, wrap yarn tightly around pen without leaving any gaps. Add more glue as you go.

You can change yarn colors but it is much easier to use multicolor yarn.

When you reach the end, trim and secure with a little dab of glue.

Add additional braids if desired.

Summer Arts and Crafts for Kids

How to encourage friends for your children

Here are a few suggestions that may help you encourage your child to make friends.
  • Talk to your child about what kind of friend they would like. Ask them who they like the most in their class. Listen to them. They are telling you what they value in people. It will help your child if you repeat these attributes back to your child, so they can hear what qualities they value.
  • Suggest to your child that you host a small party or movie night. Invite only one or two potential friends over. Don\'t hover, but be available to your child if they need you. This will help your child feel confident, but not smothered. Make sure you offer good food (especially when teens are around).
  • If you find your child withdrawing while their guests or friends are at your home, take your child to the side and hug them. Reassure them that having friends may be difficult, but it is important. Also, point out the positives you have witnessed with your child and their guests. Parenting a child who warms up slowly to peers requires patience and optimism.
  • Make your home a safe place for your child to invite friends. This is an opportunity to help your child feel secure and also teach children how to get along. Don''t allow disrespectful words or behaviors, but do give your children and their friends room to work out their differences. Your child's friends will become some of the best teachers.
