Nursery Props #2 - Ribbon Wands

This idea is not my own, in fact it has been around for centuries, I'm sure.  I can just imagine some midieval child running around a muddy field with one of these in her hand trailing behind her in the wind.  But I digress.  I made these to sing with "Give, Said the Little Stream," and the kids are enthralled every time I bring them.  They just love to run around and twist the ribbons around in the air.  I have a very young nursery this year, with only 2 of about 10 that are over the age of 2.  So anything simple that gets them moving is HUGE.  They also don't do a lot of singing, given their age, but I love to see them get excited. 

I put them together quite simply - with popsicle sticks, and 4 lengths of ribbon in different colors and lengths.  Have fun!

    I used craft glue to attach the ribbon, and they've held up really well.

  3. I totally did this for my Junior Primary. We have 20 new sunbeams and they are having a really hard time sitting still. They loved this! Thanks soooo much for the fabulous Idea!
