By the end of this lesson, you will learn how to create beautiful woven paper art pieces using different colors and patterns.

Materials and Prep

• Various colored papers
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Pencil

No prior knowledge required, just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!

Activities

• Create a paper loom by cutting slits along the top and bottom of a piece of paper.

Use the ruler to make straight lines and the scissors to cut the slits. This will be the base for your weaving.

• Cut strips of colored paper to weave through the loom.

Choose different colors and patterns to make your weaving unique and colorful.

• Weave the strips of paper over and under through the slits to create your design.

Remember to alternate the weaving pattern to make it interesting!

• Experiment with different weaving techniques like braiding or layering.

Try out different ways to weave the paper strips to see what cool designs you can come up with!

Talking Points

• Let's start by making our paper loom. Say, "We are creating the base for our weaving by making these slits in the paper."
• Now, cut strips of colored paper. Say, "Let's choose our favorite colors to make our weaving bright and colorful."
• Weave the strips over and under. Say, "We are making a pattern by weaving the paper through the slits."
• Try different weaving techniques. Say, "Let's get creative and try braiding or layering the paper strips for a fun design."
