Last
Minute Holiday Napkin Rings!
The
big meal is just around the corner. Time to make some
fancy holiday napkin rings! You'll need the cardboard
paper towel tube and another small plastic container (
photo shows a cottage cheese container) and some felt.
Cut up the felt into small triangle pieces about 1/4 to
1/2 inch in length and put them in the cottage cheese
container. Then take your cardboard tube and put some
glue at one end around the tube (about 1-2 inches wide).
Now let your toddler hold the other end of the tube and
put the glue end in the cottage cheese container with
the
felt and swirl it around so that the felt sticks to the
tube. Pull it out and move any pieces that might need to
be shaken off or moved around. Then take some
scissors and cut off the part
with the felt on it so that you have a nice holiday
napkin ring as shown in the photo. You can repeat the
above again and again until you run out of the cardboard
tube, or when you run out of your toddler's attention!
Supplies Needed-
- paper towel
cardboard tube
- small container ( cottage cheese )
- felt of different colors

Tips/Suggestions-
- Let your toddler help with putting the glue on and
dropping the felt pieces in the small container.
