What to prepare
- Construction paper
- Scissors
- Hole puncher
- Yarn
- Masking tape
How-to do
Don’t worry, it’s so simple!
Step 1
Cut construction papers into different shapes and patterns, such as star-shaped, heart-shaped, or fish-shaped pieces.
Step 2
Punch holes around the shape, with some space between each hole.
Step 3
Cut the yarn into 45 cm length. Create a handle with masking tape on one side so it’s easy to hold.
On the other side of the yarn, tie a knot. (You can use shoelace as a substitute).
How to play
Take the yarn, the side with masking tape, and slowly go through different holes like sewing, or let your kids lace in any patterns according to their imagination.
