Strong Punch Lacing Board
Steps:
- Prep the cardboard by covering it with colored construction paper if desired. Use a marker to draw a simple shape or pattern on the board.
- Hold the cardboard firmly with your helper hand. Challenge your child to squeeze the hole puncher hard to create holes around the drawn shape.
- Cut a long piece of yarn. Tie one end of the yarn securely onto the first punched hole.
- Thread the yarn through the holes, using both hands together to push and pull the string. Try to follow the drawn pattern.
- When you reach the end, encourage your child to practice tying the two loose ends of the yarn into a simple knot. They must use precise pincer grips to manage the string.
Safety Tip:
Maintain constant adult supervision. Hole punchers can pinch fingers if not used properly. Small yarn pieces are a potential choking hazard for children who still place objects in their mouths.
