Why it helps
This activity promotes fine motor skills, such as lacing, tying, cutting, squeezing, and gluing. Choking risk: small jewels can be a choking hazard. Stay within arm’s reach, and keep them away from children who still put things in their mouths.
Step 1: Cut out a picture of a unicorn.
Step 2: Glue it on a paper plate.
Step 3: Hole punch around the edges of the plate.
Step 4: Thread a separate piece of string through each hole and tie a knot to hold it, leaving the long ends hanging down.
Step 5: Option to curl the strings, add jewels, or color the unicorn for more fine motor opportunities.
Step 6: Watch the strands fly in the air as you spin & wave it around! Enjoy!
