There are days we need to keep our little ones busy and happy for a few minutes. These easy toddler-approved Perler bead ornaments are perfect for that!

The big kids are busy with their homework. Common core math has forced a silence over the house. The little kids are enjoying their simple life, but since their brothers are occupied, they decide it’s their turn to get my attention.

I need to busy them with an easy and fun craft idea. Something I won’t need to closely monitor, as we have spelling words and multiplication tables to review with the big kids.

Perler beads to the rescue – as always.

Step by step instructions:

  • Place the cookie cutters on the cookie sheet.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Fill the cookie cutters with beads. Layering them 2-3 beads deep will make a solid ornament.
    • (The kids can do this step independently for several minutes.)
    • Either strategically place the colored beads, or do it toddler-style with random colors throughout.
    • (We did it both ways and love the results equally.)
  • Put the cookie sheet in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • Keep the oven light on – this will entertain the kids – and help you to monitor the melting process.
  • Remove promptly once all the beads are melted.
  • Rinse the cookie sheet and cookie cutters under running water.
    • The bead ornaments will pop right out and be cool enough to handle.
    • (Please DO confirm the temperature of the ornaments before you give them to the kids!)
  • String fishing line/ thread through the holes in the ornament.
  • Voila! Easy ornament, happy kids – win win!

*** I am sure this does without saying, but I am going to say it anyway: Please watch your little ones around the small beads, as they fit perfectly in nostrils and ears – or so I am told! Also use caution around the hot oven and the newly melted ornaments. ***

Both Jansen and Jonah are now firmly planted on the couch, admiring their ornaments, feeling rather accomplished – and I have the peace to devote all my attention to the enthralling common core problems of 2nd and 4th grade.
