 | ADULT: print template of choice or make your own.
|
 | ADULT: Glue onto a thick piece of cardboard (cardboard backs from
paper pads or old boxes work well).
|
 | ADULT: Cut out this template
|
 | Allow the children to trace the template onto a piece of card stock or
poster board (or construction paper... though I prefer the thicker card
stock for lacing projects).
OR have an adult do this prior to craft time.
|
 | Allow the children to cut out their card stock shapes
OR have an adult do this prior to craft time.
|
 | Allow the children to make holes around their shape (about an inch or two
apart)
OR have an adult do this prior to craft time.
|
 | Provide the children with a length of wool or ribbon.
 | You can wrap some scotch tape around the end of the wool to make it
more like a shoe lace. |
 | Have the child thread the wool through the holes.
|
|
 | Practice tying knots and/or bows to tie off in the center.
|
 | Optional: Let the children use glitter, paint or stickers to further decorate their completed project. |
