sports craft

i know the week is half over, but i thought i'd still share what we did today in therapy. so, my little girl isn't so much into the whole sports theme of the week, so i had to get creative and find a way to make it fun for her. i found this template online for a lacing football. i printed it off on brown construction paper (make sure you have 2 copies for the front and the back), matched up the two pages and made hole punches along the edges. during therapy we "cut" the yarn with the scissors (quoted words are the ones we worked on during the session), and then threaded the yarn "in" and "out". when there were only 2 holes left, we "ripped" some scrap paper and "crumbled" it up and put it "in" the pouch. once it was filled up, we continued threading the rest of the yarn into the holes and then "tied" it off with a "bow". when we were finished, we worked on "throw" and "catch". she loved it!

also, here is a link for a baseball clipart image.
