How to make Vegetable Lacing Cards
Step 1. Download and print the free printable lacing cards.
2. Laminate the sheets.
3. Cut out each of the vegetables, and use a hole punch to make the lacing holes.
4. Tie a piece of string or shoelace to one of the holes.
This is optional, you don’t need to tie the shoelace to the lacing card. I only do this if I have enough shoelaces for each card, and if I’m worried about the kids losing them.
5. Enjoy learning.
