The Kitah Gimmel children really enjoy beading and making jewelry. Noticing this interest, Morah Jessica offered the children an opportunity to make pendants. In the Atelier, the children each choose a Shrinky Dink sheet. The children chose colored pencils and Sharpie markers to color their shapes. When their designs were finished a hole was punched into each shape and the shapes were baked in the oven for a few minutes.
During the next class, the children were given back their shrunken shapes. The children each strung their pendant and some beads of their choosing onto stretchy string to create their own necklace. The children were excited about the finished product!
