Create a Cozy Poncho!

What You Need:

• 30" square piece of of polar fleece fabric (makes one kid-sized poncho. If you would like to make an adult-sized poncho, use a 60" square)
• Sharp scissors
• Large plastic bowl
• Marker
• Large wooden or plastic beads of your choice

What You Do:

1. Have your child fold the square of fabric diagonally.
2. Place a large bowl in the center of the edge of the folded piece and outline a semi-circle with your marker. The semi-circle should be about 5” across.
3. Cut out the semicircle, then unfold. Instant poncho!
4. Next, make 3' cuts into around the bottom of the poncho to create a fringe.
5. With your child, decide on a pattern that you will use to string beads into the fringe of the poncho. Once each piece of fringe is beaded, make sure to tie a knot at the end!

Your poncho is complete! You've created a warm and fuzzy original design to wear or share. Make more to share as holiday or birthday gifts for family and frends!
