*Stallone Tested and Approved: Noodle necklaces rock! What a fun and inexpensive way to teach your child about patterns! Stallone loved to call out the colors once we decided on a simple pattern. It was very patriotic too coloring the noodles red, white {left as they were}, and blue! Definitely be doing this again!
