Toddlers are moving from being totally dependent on their parents to trying to control themselves and their universe. They begin to discover their individuality and try to determine how much power they have on individuals.

Toddlers are at an age of daring exploration. They will climb ladders far too high, run much too far away and try to eat dangerous things. Parents of children at this age group must set limits without overprotecting a child. The child must learn what’s too high, too hot or too sharp.

Sixties parties are a wonderful way to bring people of all ages together for good times, food and a great party craft session. One iconic image that oldsters have from the 1960’s youth culture was wearing long strings of beads. Both genders wore these, along with bell bottoms, as evidence of their membership in the baby boom generation. This craft project provides a combination of party favor and party activity!

Buy bead jewelry making supplies. Cut necklace cords to lengths that hang to about the waist of an adult and others fit to a child’s size. Tie a knot at the bottom of each strand, place a long bead lengthwise and then tie another knot. This will hold beads as they are added.

A Hawaiian luau is a fairly festive event, mostly famous for ham and pineapples. It’s not hard to see why you’ve chosen to hold one. Now, all you need is some kind of crafting project to tide over the guests while the food finishes cooking.

One of the easiest craft projects for a festive party like this is to make a beaded necklace, so I’d recommend making Hawaiian leis. The ingredients are fairly easy to come by, virtually any crafting store that you come across is going to have more than enough beads and string for any number of guests and designs that you could come up with. Although you could always go the traditional style and use flowers to make yours.
