children's bead swap

Another day, another bracelet. My lovely daughter is totally obsessed with making bracelets from big plastic beads with holes large enough for her to poke elastic cording through (like a pony bead, although lots of fun varieties are usually available in your craft store in the pony bead section). I love the beads we have (we got at least a pound for $3.99, and they make beautiful bracelets), but I'd like some variety.
Your job: make up two little packages, each with at least a half-cup-measuring-cup-full of beads. Beads can be made of any material, but must have a big hole (like a pony bead, rather than a seed bead). Send them to the deserving children of your swap partners. Receive two back, watch your own child's face glow with the excitement of getting something from the mail carrier, and make some lovely bracelets or necklaces. It will occupy your morning (and your little one!)
