Alpacas with Maracas Wind Chimes

CleverPatch™ is proudly supporting ALIA National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday the 22nd of May 2019 at 11am (AEST)! To celebrate this year’s book Alpacas with Maracas, written and illustrated by Matt Cosgrove, we have created this fun activity. Our blackline masters can be completed in a variety of ways. Below are some hints and tips to help you get the most out of your blackline masters. These activities will equip children with important skills like colouring, cutting, gluing, folding, constructing and creative thinking.
  • Step 1 Print out your Alpacas with Maracas Wind Chimes BLM overlay. We recommend you print it on cover paper. This will provide a great surface for decorating.
  • Step 2 Use markers, pencils, crayons or paint to colour in your sheet. Once decorated, use scissors to cut out your overlay. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 3 Place a Wooden Wind Chime Shape over the top of your decorated cut-out design and using a pencil, mark where the hanging holes are.
  • Step 4 Attach your design to the Wooden Wooden Wind Chime Shape using glue. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5 Push a pencil tip through the holes marked in Step 3.
  • Step 6 Loop a length of waxed thread through the top hole. Thread some beads onto the waxed thread, then tie to create a hanger. Use the included metallic thread to attach the chimes along the bottom set of holes. Your Alpacas with Maracas Wind Chimes are now ready to hang!
