Purpose
In addition to the strengthening of the finger muscles, this activity helps in developing the child's cutting skills as the child imitates the cutting motion by using a single hole puncher.
Description
Help the child to cut out a large circle from the center of the paper plate, leaving about 1-inch from the edge, and creating an outer ring. Using the hole puncher, ask the child to punch holes around the outer ring you have created. Give the child a large piece of yarn (you can also use more than one piece of yarn) and ask him to lace the yarn through the holes going diagonally.
