Today you will make some strings for your tree! This is, of course, a time during which you will need to know your childcare licensing rules. If licensing allows, make pasta garlands with red and green colored rigatoni or wagon wheel (color it with food coloring and a little rubbing alcohol-just throw it in a zipper bag, shake it up, and spread it on newspaper to dry overnight). Let your students string it on yarn. If you can’t use pasta, try to find some chubby red and green beads, or make beads out of toilet paper or paper towel tubes cut to short lengths (you could let your students paint these). These will look great on your tree!
Your fine motor today is a great way to use old Christmas greeting cards. Cut off the fronts of the cards, laminate them, and punch holes all the way around the edge. If you don’t have any Christmas card fronts, you can buy Christmas-themed note pads from Carson-Dellosa….and remember to save your Christmas cards this year! This is one of the most inexpensive and easy ways to make Christmas-themed lacing cards!
