Ribbon Art

It’s the perfect time of year to be artistic with extra ribbon — or ribbon from presents after they are opened. Just provide the supplies — colored construction paper (any size) and tape. If your child is old enough to cut it himself, great. If not, all you need to do is cut an assortment of strips, all sizes, all colors, and let your child tape the pieces of ribbon on the paper. Paste would be better if you have it. And, provide crayons in case he wants to make a beautiful illustration, abstract is just fine, around the applied ribbon. Maybe this ribbon art can become a greeting card with a message to go along with a present — or even mailed to a long-distance relative!
