How cute is this cat’s whiskers busy bag? I happen to find it adorable! Just print
out the free download, cut out the kitty’s, laminate and hole punch to indicate
where to lace the pipe cleaners. Toss some pipe cleaners cut in half inside the
busy bag and it is all set to go. The child can lace the pipe cleaners through the
holes to give the cat’s their whiskers.
I only used one hole punch to lace the pipe cleaners through but you could do
two. I liked the end result better with
only one hole punched and lacing all
the pipe cleaners through the one
hole. If it is difficult for the child,
punch the one hole several times to
make it larger to fit the pipe cleaners
easier.
This activity encourages scissors skills,
hand strengthening with the hole
punching, visual motor skills with the
lacing and creativity.
