We’re kicking off February with a fun Valentine for all ages: Valentine’s Day cereal necklaces. There’s a free printable that you can cut out and add to the necklace that reads “I’m loopy for you”!

My kids made one wear and one to give away. So grab your cereal “loops” and get to work!

• Small piece of clear tape

 

How to Make Easy Valentine’s Necklace with Cereal

 

Were you a cereal lover back then? Do your kids look forward to each morning because they know they’ll get to taste some yummy Froot loops when they wake up? I honestly thought cereals were so cool with their different shapes, sizes, and flavors.

 

For this simple project, I’ve decided to create some Valentine’s day jewelry made from cereal. Yes! You read that right. As soon as I saw these fruit loops, I immediately knew they’d be perfect for heart’s day. As a gift or for your little one to carry around.

 

I can’t emphasize enough how simple these are to make. As a mom with not much time on my hands, and the need to spend some happy and quiet craft time with my kids, this was a perfect idea.

 

If you’re like me who LOVES handcrafted items and enjoys gifting them to others or simply making them with my kiddos, this kids cereal necklace is idyllic for you. You can even make this during snack time out of the blue!

 

The way your little ones can snack and craft at the same time honestly sounds like heaven to me. They get to enjoy this uncomplicated craft while munching on the goodness of this cereal. A win-win situation, right?

 

Instructions:

 

• Tie an unattached knot on the end of the baker’s twine to keep the fruit loops from sliding off
• Swathe a small piece of clear tape around the other end and nip it so it can easily squeeze into the fruit loop
• Have your kids slide each fruit loop into the twine
• Assist your kids in tying the end of the twine once they’re done
• Let them wear the necklace!

 

Fruit Loops work great or if you can find Van’s Blissfully Berry (we buy at Target) they are fun to use because they are the size of Fruit Loops but all pink.

 

For the printable, I printed on cardstock, cut out the hearts, and then punched a hole at the top of each heart so the kids could add it to the necklace.

 

 

And there it is! A cute Valentine gift for the day of hearts. I told you this was easy to make and doesn’t take too much time at all. Planning to make this for your kids? Let me know in the comments!
