Why not get the kids to make their own necklace?
You could use cereal with holes in the centre, something like fruit loops.
Pretzels, round cookies, gummy lollies with holes in them.
How about some cooked pasta? Yes, I know, not as exciting.
The trick is to not have them eat all the goodies before they complete the necklace.
What would your kids add to their edible necklace?

Such a good idea isn’t Yvette. I used to always love eating the edible bracelets as a kid xx
fantastic idea! I think my girl would love to have one made of Cheerios and marshmallows heh

I love this! My boys would love making these, then eating them! x
Kate @ Our Little Sins recently posted..Muesli, granola, clusters? I don’t care what it’s called, let’s just eat it!
eating them after they have made a necklace right… or maybe while they are making it :) xx
Great idea. My children love doing this with popcorn

could popcorn thread through…. i guess so :) x
Such a great idea! But I am afraid that it won’t be long-lasting because my little toddler would eat them all in 5 minutes:)

i know… that is the risk you take. I guess it could become a game of ‘how long can you last before you eat it’….xx
Love this idea – fantastic. Another thing you could add is dried apples – they have a hole in the middle.

Yummy, I think my son would eat the food before it made it on the necklace…. but maybe I could make one for me :)
