Weaving Plates


So with 2nd grade this year I decided to try weaving on paper plates.  We used the Chinet plates because they are sturdy.  A little more expensive but worth it.

The kids really took to this project and had fun picking their own colors for the weaving.  A few of them struggled, but for the most part they all did awesome!  Some were so into it that they decided to weave the entire plate!
I asked them to warp their plate, weave and then put a pattern on the exposed paper plate.  They were to try and weave about half way out.  Funny, the hardest part for some of them was putting the yarn through the eye of the needle. 

Here they are.....
