Look for continuing details

In a picture on this theme, star points, ribbons and repeated ornament shapes can provide reference points. Find a detail crossing two pieces and check its orientation before trying another join.

After the activity

Design an ornament from two geometric shapes and explain how you would repeat its pattern in a garland. Connect Christmas vocabulary with decorations and scenes that participants can interpret in their own way.

Match continuing details

Start with outside edges, then find colors or lines continuing between two pieces. Arrange pieces without gluing until you have checked the full picture. Keep the reference visible at first and put it aside for a second attempt.
