Diagonal Lacing in Folding Carton Book


I I originally planned to make a folding picture book by cutting the 4 sides of a carton. This  develops motor planning skills as children fold the book to close it. I covered it with yellow contact paper.
 I decided to turn the folding book into a fine motor activity by attaching the green and orange plastic pieces to form the face after they are laced through only 2 large holes. This is a fun way to teach children how to form the diagonal lines that are used in writing. One side of the  cardboard "page" has a face. Tyurn it over to see the V formed when the plastic pieces are laced.
I tried to download a video that demonstrates more, but it didn't work!  But I put the video on my Facebook page....
