You can make these necklaces on regular string and take them in the car for an enjoyable snack. Or try making them at a party as an activity and a party favor.

DIFFICULTY: EASY

Make as many as you like

1 cup O-shaped cereal (like Cheerios, Froot Loops, or any other brand) Long, thin licorice strings

• Put each different type of cereal into the separate cups of a muffin tin.

• Hold onto the licorice string and thread on different Os in different patterns or colors — or flavors! (Make sure one end of the string is knotted; otherwise, your Os will come sliding right off!)

• Knot the ends together to wear the necklace or just eat it as is.

The silly answer is, “It was a total flop!”
