When we made these we talked about textures since there are lots of different textures in these different fabrics; we had fleece (soft), flannel, tool (rough), ribbon (smooth), yarn, sequenced material (bumpy), and regular cotton fabric. You can't really see the sequenced material in there, but it does add a bit of sparkle when the kids wave them around. All the kids loved dancing with their ribbon dancer. You can let them do free style or follow your lead; wave them high, wave them in circles, twirl around with them, wave them up and down, low to the ground, fast, slow... you get the idea.
You can also use this is a counting lesson...count how many ribbons have tied to your handle. Or as a color lesson and use solid colored fabric. You could do an all blue one, a green one, a red one, etc. Anyways, this was a fun, FREE, activity.

Those are adorable. We are doing a theme letter each day until we go through the alphabet and Friday is going to be D. So we are going to use these for dancing. Thanks for the great idea! My girls are going to go crazy.
Wow! Aren't you creative! How did you stumble onto my blog. No one ever goes there. ;o) Rach is in Las Vegas with twin boys who are almost 4. I will tell her hello. I am glad you wrote to me. Until later...
