Completed Circle Weavings : 3rd Grade







Here are some of the completed circle weavings.  For those of you wondering about the loom...I buy the "craft circles" that are in Sax/School Specialty, Dick Blick..etc.  They have one side cardboard & the other white.  The white surface is great for using markers on(though the kids still need to "deal" with the ridges created by the cardboard)

  4. I actually did something I pinned! The kids loved these I even had a bunch of students take them between classes because they were so addicted to the weaving... To mix things up a bit we used cereal boxes to make our circles then covered them in aluminum foil and did radial designs in colored sharpie. They looked rad. I have a few pics just need to figure out how to share them...
