Painted Bread Buttons

What you need:

• cookie cutters
• white bread
• yarn
• craft glue
• paint brushes
• acrylic paint

What to do:

1. Using cookie cutters, punch out shapes from slices of white bread and let them dry out.
    
2. Poke a hole at the top and bottom of each shape for lacing the yarn.
    
3. With watered-down glue, paint around the outside edge of the cut-outs to reinforce the shape.
    
4. Once the shapes have dried, invite your child to paint them with bright designs.
    
5. String them together to create a funky bread-based work of art for hanging on walls or windows.
