Two Simple Weaving Projects for Kids
One day, DD announced, “I want to learn to weave.” I realized that I was a terrible mother… my kids have never even learned the basics of paper weaving! It was time to bring out the construction paper and teach that all-important skill… repeating the over-under-over-under pattern!
Then I used hard pieces of cardboard and made simple little yarn looms for them. Even my youngest quickly got the hang of it!
Their (almost) finished products weren’t terribly big…
But ED quickly found a use for hers!
Then looking at Pinterest… I can see tons of new projects in our future!
DD got a LapLoom from Auntie C for her birthday and really loves it! 🙂 She even brought it on a trip with us! This is the LapLoom that we got. There is also an upright version from Melissa & Doug. (affiliate links)
