Trace a shape on a piece of card stock and place on top of a foam tray. We run our meat trays through the dishwasher and save them for all kids of activities or to put paint on for paint trays.
Show you kids how to hold the thumbtack carefully and supervise as necessary. Have them punch holes all around the outline of the shape. Encourage keeping the holes close together. When they are finished, show them what the backside of the paper looks like!
