Paper mittens

Hanging paper mittens on a clothesline is fun and allows your kid to work on his/her fine motor skills thanks to the use of pegs. You can also adapt it to your teaching needs: write numbers on the mittens and have your child roll a die and run to the mitten with the matching number or make colors dice and use it the same way to have fun with color recognition and, why not, a bit of exercise!
The activity itself of hanging the mittens on the the thread is both challenging and engaging: you'll see your child really focus :)
Draw and cut out several pairs of mittens on colorful paper or cardstock paper.

Options:

1. Use a thread from a chair to another chair and ask the child to hang the mittens with pegs.
2. Ask the child to find the matching mitten (by color, or number written on it, or phonics, or letter)
3. Color and decorate the paper mittens (also: glitter, stickers, etc.)
4. Lacing (poke holes and use colorful threads for lacing)
5. Tracing

My children asked me to play this game over and over again!
