Weaving Patterns

Weaving Patterns

Suitable for Kindergarten to Third Grade

- using strips of paper/yarn/chenille stems
   to create a pattern

- vary the number of colours/shapes of 
  strips depending on the age/ability of the 
  children

Materials
- construction paper or card stock with cuts   made about an inch apart
- have a variety of "strips" available
- younger children will be drawn to 
  different colours to make their patterns
- older children may incorporate colour, 
  size, material etc. to create more 
  complex patterns.
  They could also make their own cuts in the paper.

Weaving
- teach the concept of weaving by using key
  words such as over and under
- for young children, over and under exercises would
  be beneficial
