I went into my 6 year old sons class today to do some weaving with them.
One of their topics is Plants and Animals so I took in some fleece, a drop spindle, knitting, felt and a woven piece of cloth and we talked about fabrics and what they are made from.
Their teacher and I had already prepared the paper plates with the warp thread and then the children choose different fabrics to weave with.
I was surprised at how conservative their choices were at first. I expected them to go straight for the cut up t-shirts and plastic bags but most of them went for the thinnest wool and it took a while for them to try weaving with the more unusual fabrics.
The result are fantastic, some aren't finished but the children are all keen to take them home and finish them off over the weekend.
A pdf of instructions of how to thread up the paper plate and finish the project off are here.
Those are really cool! What a great project for kids to do. And a sneaky way for you to get them into crafts at an early age. :-)
ReplyDeleteExcellent stuff - we've just had a go, with some dodgy fun fur wool in lurid colours. It turns out my 5 year old is a natural, and the 3 year old just likes playing with the wool!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cool you and the kids should be proud of them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project. Those turned out really awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat that the boys enjoyed it too!

To be a adroit benign being is to be enduring a amiable of openness to the far-out, an gift to trust aleatory things beyond your own manage, that can take you to be shattered in unequivocally outermost circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly outstanding with the prerequisite of the principled autobiography: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a jewel, something kind of tenuous, but whose very particular handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.
