Using our great salt dough recipe (remember the topology map of
Africa?!) We made our own beads!!
Given that the kids had already done the mixing for the map, I prepared the dough so they were ready to make the beads.
They got the hang of it pretty quickly and were careful too with the stick to make the hole.

We painted them with acrylic paint and also acrylic paint pens for the designs. It got really messy, but that's part of the process! I varnished them too for a shiny 'keep-forever' style. A few however broke shortly after...!

They LOVED this project so much and wore their beads around school all week!
