Paper Chains

by Kate on November 5, 2011

We like to create creations up in this creative house. Some of our projects are involved and very messy, even chaotic. That’s why it’s nice to make something simple, easy and fun. Yesterday we busted out the good ol’ construction paper and tape. Paper chains, y’all! To make quick strips I used my cutting mat and a rotary cutter designated specifically for paper. I think most preschoolers can put these together and they get a quick result. I highly recommend getting a weighted dispenser if you have lil’ chillins that like to use the tape. It’s much easier for them to maneuver the tape off the roll with two hands.

One of the many reasons I am excited about Christmas this year is the kids will be making the paper chain garland for the tree. They don’t know it yet, but I can’t wait. But after your post I am like, “Why wait?” You don’t need no stink’n holiday to make a paper chain! As always you are an inspiration. :)
PS- thanks for the tape tip.

Haha! Total preschool activity. That’s probably why it’s so fun!
