Over the course of 60 minutes, students will learn about the various materials and techniques involved in weaving. The lesson begins with a brief introduction to fiber arts, followed by a demonstration of how to use a cardboard loom and simple weaving techniques.
Students will then have the opportunity to create their own woven pieces using colorful yarn and fabric scraps, promoting creativity and fine motor skills. They will share their creations with classmates, explaining their color choices and design processes, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. The lesson concludes with a cleanup and a discussion on the importance of maintaining a tidy workspace.
