Braiding Board



My 5-year-old wants to learn how to braid, but is having trouble holding hair/ribbons in her hands the right way. I fashioned a little board for her that holds the ribbons for her.

Here's what you need:
Gardening knee pad (a book or piece of wood with a push pin would work too)
Ribbon
Duck tape

Here's what you do:
1. Cut three pieces of ribbon and tie around the top portion of the knee pad handle (or pin to the top if using book/wood).

2. Place a piece of duck tape around base of pad with the sticky side OUT. Tape adhere the sides with two more pieces of duck tape.

3. Stick the three ribbons to the duck tape...and start braiding :-)
