Materials
Solid color winter scarf (or make one out of fleece)
Colored craft sticks
Tray
Pictures of patterns (optional)
Directions
Lay the solid-colored winter scarf out on a flat surface (a carpeted space works well). Place a supply of colored craft sticks on a tray next to the scarf. Invite your child to place craft sticks along the scarf in a simple pattern to make stripes. How lovely!
Younger children will enjoy just making stripes with the craft sticks, if patterns haven’t been introduced yet.
