Mother's Day

Clip to ScrapBook   
I have a neat craft idea that I tried out with my own 6 year old daughter. She is very crafty so I'm pretty sure my Grade 1s can do it (some may have trouble if they trouble with fine motor). You take a heavy peice of cardboard (Tide box worked great) and cut 8 inches square. Cut 1/2 inch snips along each top and bottom about an inch apart. Create a loom by threading wool up and down. Then with a different colour tied to a popsicle stick, weave in and out. More advanced students can use different colours to create a pattern. When finished snip and tie ends and voila you have a coaster. Happy crafting!
