30+ Kids Crafts That Teach Weaving

So let’s start off with the importance of weaving and why we need to teach it to our children. First, it’s constructive, as in you can literally build things with it. Weave a roof on your house? sure no problem, weave a basket to carry your groceries, sure we can! You may be wondering why we need to learn how to weave a roof? I can only think of the moment your child goes on Survivor and they need to build a shelter, all those crafty kids out there will be weaving the palm throngs for stability and weatherproofing.

Actually, though, weaving is great for fine motor skills, it can be intricate with small designs and yarn or large with fabric, plastics, and tree branches. Weaving teaches patterns and sequencing all-important educational lessons.

Weaving uses two types of threads: the warp and the weft. The process begins with the warp threads, which are stretched tight on a frame, and the weft which is “weaved” in between.
