Yarn Balls ….. they can be made with different types of yarn and varying sizes. You will need the yarn (twine can be used as well), a small strip of cardboard (about 2 inches wide) and scissors.

Wrap the yarn around the cardboard – rotating the ‘ball’ to get it ’round’. When the ball has been completed to the desired size snip the yarn and thread the end into the yarn ball … bring it back through to the top and tie it off with a knot.

Tossing or even rolling the textured ball is a lot of fun for the little ones and will help develop the hand and eye skills.
