Easter Placemat

The kids can have fun weaving this Easter placemat to decorate the Easter
table with cheerful spring colors. We've use bright colors but the mat also
looks pretty in pastels (or perhaps even some
scrapbook paper).
You will need:
A sheet of green card
Pink and yellow paper
Instructions:
Fold the card in half lengthways. Cut long lines in the card about 1 inch
apart and about 1 inch from the edge of the card.
Now cut the paper into strips about 1 inch wide. Take a strip of paper and
pass it under the card and then up through the first slit, down through the
second and back up through the third and so on until you reach the other side of
the card. Push it up so it sits as close to the top of the red card as it can
reach. Repeat with a different colored strip of paper, starting the other way,
down through the first slit and up through the second and so on. Repeat until
the card is full.
Laminating will protect your mat.
