How to Teach Simple Finger Knitting
This is such a great skill to teach children. It teaches rhythm, eye/hand coordination, and a deeply refined level of fine motor skill. One of my students this year has not been overly excited about any project. After learning how to do simple finger knitting - she said repeatedly - "I love finger knitting!! I love it!" There is such a feeling of accomplishment!

Oh this idea looks so cute. Couple of questions. Does the first loop have a knot? How do you finish it off so it doesnt unravel?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video Sally. We had a teacher a few years ago, doing this when she taught kindergarten. My class was too young then, but they are ready now. Blessings,
