DONUTS ON A STRING PREP

Before joining the 10am Zoom session, you’ll need to set up this activity. In your Fall Festival Goody Bag there is a ball of yarn and donuts to use, you’ll need scissors as well.
Choose your spot (if outside, using a tree branch is a great option), and use the provided yarn to hang your donuts, taking care to hang them low enough for your child to comfortably reach. Be sure to hang a donut for each family member, so everyone can participate.
Wait for Amy’s countdown to begin!

OTHER SUPPLIES

Your Fall Festival Goody Bag also has supplies for Pumpkin Painting (white pouch), Friendship Bracelets (for Gr. 2-8, brown pouch), and the Enchanted Forest Adventure (for Gr. N3-1, fox ears).
