4 – Cut a length of red yarn and tape it onto the back of the paper plate. Then invite kids to laced it in and out of the holes. You can let them doing any way they like or show them the looped stitch that you can see on our laced gingerbread man craft, or running stitch methods we used here.  (You’ll notice that we doubled the yarn to make it thicker and show up more.) Keep threading all around the edge of the plate and sticky tape the loose end onto the back.
