#BALD EAGLE KINDERGARTEN ART PROJECTS HOW TO#

Making a loom out of a piece of cardboard is a classic (if you don’t know how to do this, check out the tutorial from Childhood 101), and while you can just weave on it in a normal way, I love this project from Art Teacher in 101, where she uses a cardboard loom to weave a colorful house. Weaving with straws is another easy way to get kids started with weaving, and with this tutorial from One Little Project kids can easily and quickly make a colorful bangle bracelet. Then you can learn to weave on a stick, which is a cool thing to display. I love to start with a nature walk and have kids pick out a stick with a v shape. It’s also super calming and a great way to use little scraps of yarn or strips of fabric you might have in your craft stash. It’s great for building fine motor skills and learning about repetition. Most kids by first or second grade will understand the “over under” concept. Teaching weaving to kids is pretty easy because they usually get some exposure to it naturally in crafts they do at school with woven paper.

It was so much fun exposing kids to knitting, crochet, cross stitch, weaving and other fun things to do with yarn and string. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the time I did a fiber arts summer camp at my daughter’s school.
