St.Patrick’s day Shamrock lacing activity!

Materials needed to set up lacing activity:

  1. A thin cardboard – we used an empty pasta box
  2. Green construction paper
  3. Shoe lace
  4. Hole punch
  5. School glue
  6. Tape

Method:

  1. I traced the same shamrock template on the pasta box and the construction paper.
  2. Glued the construction paper template on the pasta box. The lacing card was ready. The pasta box added strength to the lacing card.
  3. Punched holes around the lacing card.
  4. Kept the lacing card along with the shoe lace for my preschooler to lace.

  5. I asked her to insert the shoe lace through a hole from bottom. We attached the end of the lace with a piece of tape at the back.
  6. It was fun for her to lace around the shamrock. She had to do rework a lot of time as she had not inserted correctly.St.Patrick's day Montessori activity ideas

Lacing activities are easy to set up and can be customized for all shapes. I need not add that lacing activities are good for hand eye co-ordination and fine motor skills. They lay the background for sewing.
