‘Fawn’ Lacing Game with Cards

About the game

A little fawn is getting ready for the festive season, but his jumper isn’t decorated yet. Help him create a festive pattern of stars and snowflakes — just like the one on the card, or something completely unique!

The ‘Little Reindeer’ lacing activity combines lacing with following a pattern. The child chooses a card, finds the right decorations and laces them onto the base with holes.

Every decoration laced on brings the little reindeer closer to the festive season, and the finished jumper is the result of their own hard work.

In the set

• a 23 × 20 cm fawn-shaped base with holes
• 24 pieces to sew on: stars, snowflakes and others
• 2 laces in different colours
• 20 ‘follow the example’ task cards

How to play

1. Choose a sample card.
2. The child sews the pieces onto the fawn’s jumper in the correct order.
3. Check against the card — then move on to the next one.

Where to start

Start without the cards: sew 2–3 pieces together in any order. The cards are the next step.
