Find a good sized leaf and make holes round the edge, ideally use a hole punch if you have one. Choose some coloured wool or string to thread in and out the holes you have made. Or make your on natural jewellery!

Giving children the opportunity to weave helps them to develop many skills. Your wee one can get very creative when it comes to weaving, they might choose to use different objects or create patterns and it gives them the physical experience of spatial concepts of up, over and under.  Your wee ones build their eye/hand coordination while strengthening their muscles used in a pincer grip. You can use a fence, garden canes, sticks or anything you can weave with.
