Make & Take Monday

Lacing Jingle Bells

Materials: bells (different colors) and stiff string

Directions: Have children lace the bells on the string. You could extend it the activity by including pattern cards. For example, make pattern cards using colored dots or pictures of colored bells - red, green, red, green or blue, silver, blue, silver. Children choose a pattern card and make the pattern by lacing the bells on the string. You could also have the children roll a die or draw a number card and lace that many bells on the string.  With or without specific directions children will enjoy lacing and ringing the bells!
