Woven Placemats
Provide the children with strips of construction paper.
On the table in front of each child, lay out 5 strips horizontally, from top to bottom. Instruct the children to lay the strips with a finger's width space between each strip.
Explain how to weave the remaining strips in a vertical pattern. In may be beneficial to tape to the table, the 5 strips of horizontal pattern.
Assist the children with carefully weaving each strip in and out.
The end result should be a small woven placemat.
