Kai Project: Bottle Caps

We've been saving bottle caps for a long time now. I finally decided to try this project with Kai - stringing bottle caps on string. I wasn't up to the challenge of letting Kai handle a hammer and nail, so I made holes in the bottle caps while Kai organized them by color:

Kai worked diligently on her project (always improving small motor skills):

This is how my project turned out:

And my second one:

And Kai's (this picture taken at Kai's request "to send to Grandma Judy"):

Of course, I may have slightly destroyed the backside of our bamboo cutting board (oops!):

Notes:

We put a drop of Elmer's glue on the end of the string to keep it from fraying. This worked the best of our other attempts to create a "needle".

I suggest washing your bottle caps so that you and your child(ren) do not end up smelling like a soda/beer/cider factory exploded on you. 

Protect your work surface!
