Fall Lacing Cards

A great way to work on hand skills, you can easily work these cards into your fall-themed activities. These thick cardboard cards are fairly large, 7-8 inches wide at the largest place, and come with tipped yarn laces. The illustrations are whimsical and bright, and they are printed front and back with the exact same images. The holes all run right along the edge for easy stitching. I bought them from Oriental Trading online. Here is the link. They also come in a 12 piece nativity set. To see it click here.

 

They change the sets from time to time.

Try this:

•  Allow the individual to figure out what he did wrong if he makes a mistake. Give hints and help in a way that will lead the individual to discover and correct the error himself, if possible.
•   Ask the individual to feel for the hole on the back and lace without flipping the card over each time to see it. 
• Try a whip stitch, the cord will enter each hole from the same side.
• Stitch a card while the individual stitches his card, giving him a model to watch.
• Work on spatial relations, eye-hand coordination, manual dexterity, pincer grasp, finger strength, in-hand manipulation, fine motor precision, palmar arch development/strength, separation of two sides of hand, intrinsic muscle development, using both hands in a coordinated manner, motor planning, executive functioning skills, process skills, play exploration and participation
