We\u2019ve been having lots of fun being creative and exploring how to use different materials to learn how to weave.\u00a0 The children enjoyed choosing from a variety of colours and textures of ribbon, paper, card and wool.\u00a0 Weaving is a fantastic activity for young children to try and offers many benefits such as developing fine motor skills and hand eye coordination, as well as developing concentration and providing a physical experience of the spatial concepts of over and under. It is also an ideal experience to help strengthen the muscles in both hands as the dominant and non-dominant hands are used at the same time.\u00a0 Here are some of the different types of weaving that we tried:<\/span><\/p>\n
