Print, Cut and Color Three Jumping-Jacks for Christmas!

Pin this image only please. Above is a picture depicting the original color combinations used for the printing of the following vintage jumping-jacks. You may color them however you like!

        Here is a fun activity for older children to craft during the Christmas holidays. Parents or teachers will need to acquire a box of brads, a hole punch and string for students to assemble these jumping-jacks; in addition to scissors and magic markers. I have redrawn a peasant, a pierrot, and a shepherdess for students to color. The original jumping-jacks are very old and come from a French archive.

• Download, print and color the stencil patterns that I have drawn for the three, vintage Jumping-Jacks. 
• Then use a hole punch to clip through the papers. 
• Assemble and string these jumping jacks according to the link that I have included below. 

•  Here is a YouTube that describes to visitors how to string Jumping-Jacks.
