Pumpkin Lacing

*Preschoolers can practice lacing these shapes while older children can try their hand at creating patterns, letters and numbers.

Supplies:

empty cereal or snack box

scissors

orange construction paper

12" (or longer) green ribbon

holepunch

glue

Directions:

1. Draw a pumpkin shape onto an empty box. Cut it out.

2. Trace the cardboard pumpkin onto the construction paper. Cut it out.

3. Glue the two pieces together.

4. Punch holes all around the pumpkin shape.

5. Tie one end of the green ribbon into the top hole. Cut the other end of the ribbon at a 90' angle so that the pointed end makes for easier threading.

This same craft can be done with an apple shape on red or green construction paper. Children can pretend the ribbon is a worm.
