Signs for any occasion

Sorry the picture isn't so clear.

This is the 'Happy Fathers Day' sign Bree and I made for Jim but the concept can be used for any occasion.  Not to mention its a great small motor skills and learning project as well.  And all it took was some leftover scrapbook paper, my cricut, scissors and a glue stick!

  Using a tie pattern, we traced one tie for each letter of our sign. 

(Helps with them learn how to trace.)

Then cut them out. 

(Helps teach them to cut on a line.)

Using my cricut, we cut out all the letters of our sign. 

(Helps with letter recognition.)

Then we glued the letters onto the ties. 

(Good practice for preschool.)

You can either string them together or just tape them individually to the wall!

As I said before, the concept of this sign can be used for any occasion.  Use a balloon pattern to make a 'Happy Birthday' sign.  Or pumpkin pattern to make a 'Happy Halloween' sign.  Or Christmas light bulb pattern to make a 'Merry Christmas' sign.  Or just use random shapes to make a sign for their door that has their name on it. 

The possibilies are about as endless as the scrapbook paper used to make them!

And, if you're really fancy, you can use material and pellon to make a more permnant, reusable banner.
