The second grade students are learning about weaving and making their own little blankets. We use pieces of cardboard as looms and the students were able to choose what size loom they wanted to work with, the bigger the loom, the larger the blanket will be. They all learned the over-under pattern needed to weave the weft yarn through the vertical warp threads.
Some students chose to work together with a partner on one of the larger looms.
The loom is only needed as the base for weaving, once the weaving is complete, the students can take it off the cardboard and bring it home.
This student used mostly fabric to do his weaving and already finished!
