I found this idea from Days With Grey. I love this simple weaving project and it is adaptable across ages. My 2 year old had fun exploring and practicing his fine motor skills while my 4 year old jumped in and could have made several. There are so many benefits that come from weaving for preschool aged children - practice using pincer grip for when learning to write, creativity, focus, left to right progression, opposites (over and under), and hand-eye coordination. I always seek projects that encourage my kids to use their imaginations. While they were working, we discussed many items that are made through weaving. When they wanted to make their weaving into animal beds, I just taped the sides so it looked complete! My daughter was excited to add her dog bed to her dogs crate she made last week!

From my home to yoursMy family thrives on routine. When school is out or life throws us curveballs, we come up with a new routine. I want to encourage parents at home to engage in play with their children. Play is hard work for children and my goal is to enhance the play while allowing the child to lead. My hope is that this site brings people together and helps us to support each other in parenting. Feel free to add your own ideas in the comments! |
