Mummy Paper Plate Lacing Craft

This Mummy Paper Plate Lacing Craft is a great hand/eye coordination activity for younger children! This craft is super simple and only takes a few supplies!

Supplies needed:

• white paper plate
• white yarn
• extra large wiggle eyes
• black marker
• small hole punch
• scissors
• glue

Pre- activity prep:

Punch holes around the edge of the paper plate. We made ours about every half an inch.

Steps:

Begin by making your mummy’s face.: Glue extra large wiggle eyes in place and draw on a mouth with the marker.  Tell your students to be creative!

Once your mummy's face has been created, cut a long piece of yarn then thread it up through the top holes from the back then back through the corresponding top holes and tie it off in a knot.

At that point, begin lacing:  up, through and across, until your mummy is completely bandaged!

When you run out of a string of yarn, simply tie it off in back and tie in a new piece.

Once completed, tie a string from the top hole and hang from the ceiling!
