Our family coop met this morning for our handicraft morning. Today's focus was weaving. Lots of the kids have different types of lap looms that they brought to work with and share for everyone to have a try. There were cardboard looms set up to be tried, which I think we might try for the next big car trip. Many of the kids were corking, bringing projects they had already started. Aria really enjoyed the rug hooking corner where a friend guided her through the process and showered her with attention. Ben really enjoyed helping put together the upright PVC piping loom. I was surprised how quickly it went together and how sturdy it was. I have looked at such looms in books like this and shied away from them because it looked intimidating, but am now rethinking that.
