Pony Bead
Projects: Featuring Color Changing Beads (Magic Beads) and Glow in the Dark Beads
Day and Night
Pony Bead Bracelets and Key Chains. Color Changing beads are magic in the
sun. (DAY) Glow in the Dark Beads are Spooky in the NIGHT.
Pony Beads are great for many
projects because of there large holes. The projects on this page could just as
easily to be made using other style beads but for younger children the larger
the bead the better. I used this project with 3 - 5 year olds. But any age
would like them. With this young age, I had to give them each a bowl and gave
them a only a few beads at a time. This helps keep down the number of
spills. To make this project a little different I used Glow in the Dark 9m
pony beads, Color changing Pony Beads, Pony bead animal and Transportation
beads. DAY = Color changing beads look white when not in the sun. When in the
sun they come in pink, blue, purple, yellow and orange. I sort outside in the sun. NIGHT = Glow in the Dark Beads allows the
bracelet and keychain easy to see in the dark. Children just love the magic
of both beads. (Even teens!)
20 Glow in the Dark Beads. (G)I used a whitish glow in the dark
beads. Art2art has great glow in the dark in multicolors.
Art2Art has the Magic Beads too! The key chain is a great gift for Mother's Day
Gift. The Glow in the Dark makes your keys easier to find in a large pocket
book! For More of Eileen's Pony Bead Projects check out:
