Fall: Apple Shape Lacing

Cynthia (Nanny): Apple lacing activity
To work on the girls' small motor skills, I had them trace a paper apple shape with yarn. Instead of using shoe laces, I taped the ends of a string of yarn. 

The girls had some trouble with the under, over motion but did better with some encouragement and more modeling. 

I may have punched too many holes, so another modification I made was letting them skip holes as they moved around the apple. Their frustration soon turned into smiles and clapping.
