Homemade Lacing Cards
Ages: 2- 5 years
Time to complete: 35 minutes
No need to buy lacing cards when you can easily make these at home. Your preschooler will practice fine motor skills while doing this quiet activity.
What you need: sturdy cardboard , long shoelaces or yarn (with tape or glue on the ends to discourage unraveling) , magazine pictures , hole punch , scissors
Instructions:To make a lacing card, start by finding a fairly large picture in a magazine of something that you think would interest your child. Glue this picture to a piece of cardboard. Cut the cardboard out around the edges of the picture. Punch holes around the edge of the picture (about an inch apart). Tie a shoe lace or piece of yarn to one of the holes. Show your child how to weave the lace back and forth through the holes.
