Apple Lacing Cards Supplies
The lacing cards are easy to print and use from home. All you need are these supplies to get started:
- Printer (I have this one)
- Cardstock
- Scissors
- Lacing yarn
- One hole hole puncher
- Laminator or contact paper

You can make the cards durable and long-lasting by laminating them, so your child can use them over and over again. And don’t forget to punch the holes after! This makes them a great value for busy moms on a budget.
I have the HP printer 8710 but it’s not available anymore. It’s been running well for years now. Look for another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.
Lacing Cards Benefits
Not only are these cards fun and engaging for your children, but they also provide a great learning opportunity. With each apple card, you can discuss the different parts of an apple, such as the stem, the seeds, and the skin.
The lacing cards are also a great way to teach your child about apples and healthy eating. You can use the cards to start a discussion about the benefits of eating apples, the apple life cycle, how apples are grown and harvested, and even the different types of apples that are available.
This lacing activity can be a fun and engaging way to sneak in a little extra learning while your child is having a good time lacing up their cards.
Another great thing about these printable lacing cards is that they can easily be adapted for children of different ages and skill levels. For younger children, you can start with larger cards and thicker laces, and gradually work your way up to smaller cards and thinner laces as they develop their skills.
