Cosmos with a threading activity

This is a cosmos craft made by threading yarn through a paper plate.

In preparation, teachers should have ready paper plates with holes made using an awl and straws cut into small pieces.

To make it easier for the children to thread the yarn, push the awl all the way through to create larger holes.

Then hand it over to the children! Wrap tape around one end of the yarn to make threading easier, thread it from the back of the plate to the front, insert it into another hole from the front, and secure the back with tape.

Adding straw pieces onto the yarn before threading it from the front to the back will make the result even more vibrant.

Finish by drawing stems and leaves with crayons in the empty spaces.
