I can't wait for our upcoming building night on March 27, 2012! Here are some pictures of the looms that we will be making as well as some examples of things that you can weave! What a great way to encourage your child in reusing! Old grocery bags make wonderful mats to put under plants! They can make a coaster out of recycled material from an old shirt or recycled yarn from an old sweater to make a set of coasters for someone special! If you attach many squares together, you can make a wonderful tote bag using grocery bags or recycled fabric or yarn! The possibilities are endless! We will have lots of samples of weaving including a wedding mat that was made for Dale and I by the women on the island of Kiribati in the south pacific! Infact, many of the items of clothing we wear are made out of woven fabric! I will have some maginfying glasses so that you can explore your clothes and see if you can determine if they are knit or woven!
**Please bring a hammer to Building Night!**
We have a limited number of kits that I put together. If you signed up, you are guarenteed a kit. If you would still like to come, it is on a first come, first served basis. You can email heidi at hplasek@pp.k12.mn.us if you would like to sign up. Again, the number is limited. I only have about 5 extra kits.
