Homemade Dancing Rings!

Have you seen those beautiful ribbon rings that you can buy? Gorgeous but on the pricey side....

Soooo....we had a go at making our own today! They definitely will not last as long but we had a blast making them and even more fun using them outside - running with them, throwing them like parachutes, playing tag with them etc etc!!!

We used some plastic wheels from our DT area that had been around for a while and threaded them with thin ribbon before setting them out for the kids to experiment threading with....

It was also great for fine motor practice - we encouraged the children to have a go at tying their own strips of crepe paper - and they were so proud of themselves when they achieved it!
