Make your own wooden threading disc - an activity and a decoration all in one! Makes a great children's woodworking activity.
Another great wooden disc/cookie activity. Create your own design, drill the holes and use for a simple threading activity for younger children.
We used a simple square to create an effective Christmas present image, but you could use any shape you like.
* Muddy Faces actively promotes child-led outdoor play & learning. We recognise and believe in the curiosity that children have and their drive to explore and discover. We hope that you will bear this in mind when considering more prescribed activities like this one – often much more creative ideas will occur if resources are simply provided and children are given the time and space to explore independently.
