Young children love bells. Here are a few bells props to make for your children to use when singing holiday songs or just listening to the cheery sounds they make.
CAUTION: Always supervise use of small bells with young children. Be sure to securely sew or attach all bells so that they can not fall off and be accidentally swallowed. |
BELL SHAKERS
You will need a small empty water bottle and 2-3 small bells for each child. |
|
Take small empty water bottles and place 2-3 small bells in each. |
|
Screw bottle lids back on and then cover the lids with strong tape. |
|
BELL BRACELETS |
You will need 2-3 bells plus a chenille stem for each bracelet. |
|
Thread 2-3 bells onto a 6” chenille stem. |
|
Then, bend and twist the stem into a small bracelet for your child. |
|
Wrap tape around chenille ends, so that they do not scratch your child. |
BELL MITTS |
You will need a pair of mittens and 4 small bells for each child. |
|
Sew 2 small bells to the top of each mitten. |
|
Children put on two mittens and clap their hands to make the bells ring. |
|
Have your child try to clap to the rhythm of the music. |
