You will need plastic berry baskets and a variety of materials for weaving, such as strips of colored paper, yarn, pipe cleaners and straws. Demonstrate how to weave the materials through the baskets. Encourage the children to choose from the variety of materials to weave their own baskets. Use directional words, such as “over,” “under” and “through” to direct the children's actions and movements. This can be done in small group.
