Learning to Weave with Cardboard
Posted by Krissy PondenThe fifth graders have been working on a weaving project that uses corrugated cardboard as a loom. They took small blocks of cardboard and created a pattern that involved planning interesting shapes. After painting and constructing the loom, they used thread to create the warp and then used brightly colored yarn to weave with. Finally, they designed a background for their projects by weaving two pieces of painted paper together. It was a wonderfully mindful introduction to complex weaving patterns and a great lesson in the importance of planning and following procedures.
