I publicly said that I would do a craft with my kids each week…and the very first week snuck up on me! LOL
BUT I was able to pull it out and make something that my kids think is kind of cute!
Practicing scissor skills
Happy New Year Banner
Supplies Needed:
- construction paper
- scissors
- cardboard
- pencil
- marker
- hole punch
- yarn
- tape
First I cut a triangle out of cardboard to use as a template. Then we traced 12 triangles on different colored construction paper. Then I had Connor cut out the triangles (most of them anyway). Next I told him what letters to write on each triangle. Then we punched a hole in each corner of all the triangles and weaved the yarn through them. Finally I taped up the banner and there we have it! A New Year’s Banner!
Our self made New Year banner
I’m pretty proud of this project on a few levels, but the teacher in me knows that I was able to hit the mother load of fine motor skills with this activity: tracing, cutting, lacing!
Post a link to your pictures if you try it!
Happy New Year!
That turned out great! I know you had a fun time creating this!
Thanks! I thought it was a good idea…not sure they like it as much as I do! lol Next time I’ll just use my Silhouette and make it the way I want!
Good job and so cute. Imagination and creativity is begining of all problem solving. Just look at Franklin, Einstien, and Di Vinci.
Thanks!
What a cute idea. My two youngest would probably love to make one.
Thanks for stopping by!
So cute! I missed New Year’s but maybe I can get my act together and have the kids make one for Valentine’s Day.
A Valentine banner! Great idea!! Can’t wait to see it! Thanks for stopping by!
Adorable. And you could easily do it for any holiday!
You read my mind! I was thinking of doing one for Valentine’s Day too!
