Step 2Prepare numbers and tail strips

Prepare numbers and tail strips
In your application of choice (word processor, spreadsheet or design program), create a table of numbers 1 - 24 using a funky font and a pale grey border (to use as a cutting guide). Print on coloured paper and depending on your font, you can get the kids to colour them in. Cut these out into strips.

Do the same for your activity list - layout, print and cut out. Depending on the age of the children, you may want to include a picture if they're not up to reading yet.

Cut up a bunch of crepe paper to reasonably regular lengths. I'm working with crepe paper ribbon because a) I had it available in the house, b) it was wildly colourful and that's part of our Christmas theme this year, and c) it will move nicely in the breeze.

Once you have some reasonable size piles, you're ready start attaching.
