These are the end of year present for my kids teachers. I tried to persuade them to make a covered spoon or a pen as I thought these would be more useful presents but they were both quite determined to give jewellery (guess it is often what I give these days). Daisy in particular really loved my necklace below and wanted to make one just like it for her teachers.

| The inspiration made by me |
I obviously showed them what to do but the following necklaces were made entirely by my children! They chose the colours and the way the beads were put together.
 |
| James aged nearly 6 made these for his teacher and his Beavers leader |
 |
| Daisy at work |
 |
| Daisy aged 4 and a half made these for her 2 nursery teachers |
Daisy made the blue one first about a week ago and then made the other today - she even remembered how to make
Natalia's 'Spongia' beads (they are the central ruffled looking ones)
Can't wait to see what they are creating in a few years time!
