L is for LIGHTS


Activity: Christmas Light Patterns
I used 3 different colors of card-stock and cut out light bulb shapes. I then cut a white piece of card-stock in half and traced the light bulb shape onto both, about 12 times. Using 2-3 of the colors, I would start a pattern and have LM continue it.
