Christmas Mobile

Materials

  • Pen or marker
  • Christmas cookie cutters
  • Construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glitter pens or paint pens (optional)
  • Hole punch or tape
  • Dental floss or embroidery thread
  • Dinner-size paper plate (or file folder cut into a circle)

Instructions

  1. Trace around the cookie cutters on the paper and cut out the shapes.
  2. If you like, have your child decorate the shapes with glitter pens or paint pens.
  3. Punch a hole at the top of each shape (or use tape) to attach a floss or thread loop to each shape.
  4. Beginning at one edge of the paper plate, cut along a spiral path, cutting around and around until you reach the center of the plate.
  5. Punch a hole in the center.
  6. Loop floss or thread through the hole.
  7. Punch as many holes as you have shapes at different places in the spiral, then tie a shape to each hole.
  8. Hang the mobile from the ceiling.

Safety

Adult participation needed for use of scissors and hole punch. If your child is able to do the cutting, use a child's blunt-tip safety scissors.
