Homemade Toddler Lacing Activity

New Kid loves to lace beads on a string. Despite his fierce determination, his fine motor skills are not quite ready for little holes and so he screams, "need help!" at me the entire time.

I put together this lacing activity for him. I cut up a paper towel roll for the "beads" and used a large ribbon, the ends of which I cut into points using pinking shears (for easier threading). For good measure I fixed a square of cardboard at one end so the "beads" would not slip off.

Just right for little hands with lofty goals.

**I wish I could have gotten a photo of his efforts, but whenever I bring out the camera New Kid stops what he's doing and yells, "camera, camera!"
