DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Thanksgiving Lacing Projects
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 cereal 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.
