I noticed that the teacher provided several opportunities for weaving and circular weaving. I loved this huge weaving in progress behind the block area:
There was this great idea for a large weaving space on a wall made with chicken wire. I have made this for my classes before and they loved it!

These are the circular looms in progress in the kindergarten for their turtles.
This is a graduating kindergartener sewing his circular weaving to the felt turtle form. It was then stuffed.
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is an inspiration, so many great ideas. This circular weaving is really interesting, it reminds me of huichal yarn painting. especially the one in the chicken wire. If you google huichol yarn painting under images, there are lots.
