Ribbon Ring

Kids love to dance, and it's so much fun to have something to dance with! Shakers or bells are great, and one thing my oldest child had fun with was some cardboard tubes with ribbons sticky-taped to them.


I was thinking about making ribbon sticks, but with two boys I know that sticks usually turn into hitting each other over the head.  So these ribbon rings are a great alternative - chunky enough for chubby hands to hold, and good fun when the music is turned up loud!

Start with a wooden curtain ring wrapped with satin ribbon (secure the ribbon with hot glue), and then tie with ribbon streamers.  Use a candle flame to singe the ends of the ribbon so that they don't fray.  Dance!
