DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Saint Patrick's Day Lacing Project
Lacing projects are a great craft for preschoolers and kindergarten
children to complete during any holiday. The lacing gives them
fine motor skill practice and practice tying knots and bows
(shoelaces!) |
 |
Materials:
- Wool or ribbon
- single hole punch
- scissors
- pencil
- card stock, poster board or construction paper
Directions:
- ADULT: print template of choice or make your own.
- ADULT: Trace 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.
