Making a fruit loop necklace is such a fun activity for the kids that doubles as a yummy snack. It’s a perfect activity for St. Patrick’s Day, 100 Days of School, or as a bored buster activity on days off of school.
Years ago, when my oldest boy was in kindergarten, he came home sporting a Fruit Loop Necklace. It was his classroom’s 100th day of school and they had all strung 100 fruit loops into a necklace.
The kids grouped colors into groups of ten to make their fruit loop necklace. What a fun and perfect idea for 100 Days of School.
But, because it’s a rainbow of colors, it’s also a wonderful idea for St. Patrick’s Day! If you are planning a St. Patrick’s Day dinner with kids involved, set out a basket of fruit loops, and some string for a fun St. Patrick’s Day craft.

Here’s what you’ll need for this kid’s activity with fruit loops and the instructions…
- 100 fruit loops
- large bowl
- About 3 ft. of baker’s twine
- clear tape
Instructions for A Rainbow Fruit Loop Necklace…
- Tie a loose knot on one end of the baker’s twine – this keeps the fruit loops from sliding off
- *Another tip is to tape the knotted end to the table so the fruit loops can’t escape. This also helps hold the twine in place
- Wrap a small piece of clear tape around the other end and pinch it into – sort of- a needlepoint, so it will fit easily into the center of a fruit loop
- Have kids sort the fruit loops into groups of ten by sliding ten of each color onto the necklace
- *If this is a “100 Days of school” project, don’t stop until there are 10 groups of 10 on the necklace
- Help kids tie the end of the twine when they have finished
- Let them wear their activity and snack on it 🙂
