  1. Ask a grown-up to cut out two large mitten shapes from cardstock.
  2. Choose colorful paper pieces and arrange a pattern across both mittens.
  3. Glue tissue-paper shapes to the mittens and draw dots, stripes or hearts.
  4. Place the mitten pair side by side to make a matching winter display.

Learn while you create

Try patterns like red-blue-red-blue and ask what comes next.

Safety note: A grown-up handles cutting. Do not attach strings or ties to children’s clothing.
