Lacing Activity

Lacing activities are good in developing fine motor skills, hand and eye coordination, concentration and  keeping them happily busy.

Some things you may want to try doing at home.

1. Do a LACING CARD

print or draw, 

cut along the outline carefully, 

laminate or stick to a sturdy board for durability 

and punch holes

Use a yarn in a big needle, or anything similar

Use simple shapes to complicated designs depending on skills and interest of the child

2. STRING THOSE TOYS

This book turned toy lacing activity has become a challenge to my daughter since she was 2+. She started with putting in in a few holes but not the whole book in a string. She has the do 'not disturb I'm concentrating' look evertime she does this.  

When your child is busy on her task, do not disturb, talk, praise or break her concentration, you loose that moment of developing her problem solving skill.

3. Match it with a BOOK: The Very Hungry Caterpillar

4. STRING THOSE SHOELACES!

Sometimes the simplest activities can do a lot of wonders for a child.
