Foxy Pasta Craft Fun for Kids

DIY Foxy Pasta Necklace Your Kids Will Actually Wear

Although my son Kai loves to play with the neighborhood kids after school, sometimes he just wants to chill in the AC after a long day of studying.

As an artist, I love to keep his hands busy and his mind creative while he is watching TV. This foxy pasta necklace craft is a simple project that will do just that. The best part about this project is that you more than likely already have everything you need in your house.

If your kid isn’t big into wearing jewelry, no biggie! Just shorten the string and tie it to your kid’s book bag as a backpack tag.

Step 4: Cut a piece of yarn so that it can comfortably pull over your child’s head. Use a skewer to help push the yarn through the two white noodles. Then tie the two ends of the yarn together so it hides behind the pointed part of your fox’s nose.
