ONe of the goals of my blog is to provide ways that parents can spend time with their kids in 30 minutes or less. This one is a great activity that provides learning, skill practice and fun all in one! Have fun with this easy DIY paper weaving craft for kids.
Supplies
- construction paper in rainbow colors and 1 sheet of white
- scissors
How to Make
1.) Fold the colored papers into 1 inch (or smaller) strips
2.)Cut the strips and set aside.
3.) Take the white piece of paper and make 8 folds down the long length of the paper. Then, make 7 folds down the short width of the paper. *Use accordion folds.
4.) Using the accordion folds, take the paper with four fold up and hold them together.
5.) Go down the length of the paper and cut 1 inch long slits into the four folds. If you are doing a rainbow, you will want to have 6 slits down the length of the paper.
6.) Open up the paper to reveal the slits and flatten out the paper so that your child can start weaving.
7.) Let your child weave the paper into the slots until completed.
It will look like this when completed.
What an easy and fun way to spend time with your child (in under 30 minutes).
