Paper Weaving

One of our fun art projects in the curriculum is paper weaving. The kids started by picking their colors. and cutting one paper into strips. Then the other paper was folded in half and cut into lines, but not all the way to the end.

Here Sweet Daughter is working with her pink/purple papers. She cut her strips fairly wide and loved this project. 

Sweet Son selected yellow/orange and cut very small strips. His took much longer to complete, but it also turned out really well.

When they were finished I had both laminated and they used them for placemats. This is a great fine motor activity and the final products were impressive.
