I love watching and listening to them interact, giggle and chat as they work. My kids sit together on the floor, or they relax on the couch and chairs and they chat away for ages as they weave.
Not to mention, weaving together as a group is a lovely social activity. By exposing our kids to these easy, beginner fibre crafts, we increase the chances of them embracing those advanced crafts as hobbies as they get older. Weaving encourages creative thinking and problem solving, it strengthens fine motor skills and it’s an early introduction to more advanced skills like sewing, knitting and crocheting. Kids today don’t spend a lot of time doing traditional fibre crafts because so many of their hobbies and interests revolve around technology. I love that my kids enjoy old-fashioned pastimes so much. Our first project was a traditional cardboard loom weaving activity and from there we progressed to much more creative projects.
My daycare kids love weaving so we’ve done quite a few fun and easy weaving projects in the past year. Note: I’ve included a couple of projects for younger children at the bottom of the post. From traditional cardboard loom weaving to weaving on unusual items like sticks and drinking straws, you’re sure to find the perfect weaving craft for your elementary aged child, tween or teen here.įor the instructions for each project, click the link below the corresponding image. If you’re looking for beginner weaving projects for kids, you’ll find all of our favourites here in on this page.
