What You Need
- 2 coffee cans (or any 2 cans sturdy to stand on)
- yellow construction paper (enough to cover the two cans)
- crayons
- 2 pieces of rope (cut to a length that can go through the can and be long enough for your child to hold as he/she walks)
- scissors
- sharp utensil (to punch holes in the sides of the cans)
- tape
What You Do
-
STEP 1: Color Paper
Color “giraffe” spots on the yellow paper.
-
STEP 2: Wrap Paper Around Can
Wrap the paper around the can and tape to hold in place.
-
STEP 3: Punch Holes in Can
Punch a hole close to the bottom of the can. Then punch another hole opposite it on the other side of the can.
-
STEP 4: Thread Rope Through Can
Turn the can upside down. Thread the rope into one hole and out the other. Loop it over the top of the can and back through the first hole, and back out the other side. Tie the two end of the rope together. (You should have a strap across the top of can that you can slip your foot through as well as a handle that you can hold.
