Weaving Demo
Ian's 4th grade teacher is teaching the class how to weave on a cardboard loom. It's part of a section on Native American studies they are learning about.
I volunteered to demo weaving on my Cricket loom. That's me showing samples. After showing the kids what I do, they got to weave on the loom themselves.
These are the finished samples. Each kid got to weave 2 picks of weft. The red sample is from Ian's Green team and the blue sample is from the Blue team.

That's really cool! I love when teachers get the kids interested in both history and craft/arts like this!
ReplyDeleteIt is cool. Some of the kids like the weaving so much they use their recess time weave instead of going outside to play.
