The girls had fun developing fine motor skills during this project.
Gather construction paper cut into egg shapes, hole punch, scissors, tape, and yarn.
For young preschoolers, punch holes around the perimeter of the egg about one inch apart. For older preschoolers, draw dots on the egg to show where the holes will go. The child punches holes over the dots. Cut a length of yarn. Tape one end of the yarn to the egg. Wrap a small piece of tape over the other end of the yarn to create a needle.
The child laces the yarn through the holes in any pattern she chooses. When the child is finished, tape the other end of the yarn to the egg.
Great work girls!

That is a fun idea. I love incorporating the holidays into the an everyday learning projects.
ReplyDeleteGreat project! We'll be trying it at our house! Thanks! Know what else works on the end to create a "needle"...a small length of pipe cleaner folded in half and twisted or a bread bag twist tie.
