Write the words and numbers on the cards. se the black marker to outline them or add details. Cut out all of the pieces.
2. Cut off 2 inches (12 cm) of the top flap of a file folder to make a pouch to store pieces while they are not being used. Tape the sides closed. Punch two holes in the top corners of the folder. Tie yarn or ribbon in the holes for hanging.
3. On more Color Explosion Paper, make a sign for the folder that states "A FUN week in…". Leave space to attach the name of the month. Inside this space, attach a section of self-stick hook and loop fastener tape. Stick matching pieces of this tape on the backs of all the months.
4. Tape three long pieces of yarn or ribbon to the back of the folder. Tape the days of the week on the yarn.
5. Glue each of the number pieces to a clothespin. Glue these so that the numbers are right side up when they are clipped on the left side of the day.
6. Cut extra pieces of Color Explosion Paper. Write the name of an activity that you or your family participates in on each of them. Glue them on clothespins so that they are readable when you clip them on the right side of the day. Air-dry the glue.
7. Clip on this week’s numbers to the days. Clip on the activities you have this week. Store your extra pieces in the folder. Next week, just clip on new information. Add more activities as you need them!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
Wood—By its nature, wood is rough and may contain splinters or sharp points
