The Royal Cardboard Cuff

Purpose

This activity helps your child practice using both hands together. By holding the tube and threading yarn, they build focus and hand-eye coordination. It is a fun way to create jewelry while working on the small muscles used for writing.


Activity Steps

Steps:

  • Help your child use scissors to cut a paper roll into three wide rings.
  • Use the hole puncher to make several holes around the edge of one ring.
  • Let your child decorate the cardboard rings with colorful markers.
  • Tie one end of the yarn to a hole on the ring.
  • Ask your child to thread the yarn through the other holes, adding beads as they go.
  • Tie a knot at the end to secure the royal cuff.

Safety Tip:
Adult supervision is required when using scissors. Small beads are a choking hazard; keep them away from children who still put items in their mouths.
