Bell Bracelet

Materials Needed:

Sturdy string (such as rawhide)

Beads  

Large jingle bells

What to Do:

Tie a knot approximately 2 inches from one end of a sturdy piece of string measuring approximately one foot long.  

Instruct children to:

 - String four to five plastic/wooden beads onto string.  

 - String one of the 3 large jingle bells onto the string; add more beads, another bell, more beads, the third bell and then the rest of the beads.  

Knot end next to last bead.  

Tie both ends of the string together.  

Explain to the children how to use this instrument.  Even though it is called a bell bracelet, it isn’t put on the wrist but held by wrapping fingers around the part of the bracelet where the strings are tied together and shaking it.
