Simple weaving ideas for kids

Weaving for kids: Woven Clover

Weaving is one of the most important inventions in the human history. Simple weaving activities teach the basic concept of weaving. It is very simple to learn. I have shared a lot of ideas related to weaving for kids like – heart weaving and cereal box basket. Today I am sharing how to create a woven clover!

Materials needed for this weaving idea:

  1. Color paper
  2. Printer paper
  3. Scissors
  4. Clover/Shamrock template
  5. Glue

Method:

Fold a paper in half. Draw a line below an inch from the open side of the paper.

Confession time: The picture shows a green paper.  The shamrock woven with green paper did not turn out good. So repeated the process with the white paper. So the output is in white paper.

How to weave in paper

Draw lines perpendicular to the first line which are 1/2 inch apart.

Cut along the perpendicular lines till they meet the first line.

Unfold the paper.

I can talk for an hour about these color papers. We love them. Cut the color papers into 1/2 inch strips.  I forgot to take the picture of this step. So, I have borrowed the picture below from my post about rainbow Shamrock.

Start weaving the strips in the white paper.  Weave the strips by inserting up and down through the cuts in the paper. Weave the entire paper.Simple weaving for kids

Trim the strips at both ends. Glue them in place.

Draw the Shamrock/clover template on the green paper. Cut out the Shamrock/clover leaving a hole in the shape of Shamrock/clover.

Glue the green paper cut out over the woven sheet! Viola! The woven clover is done!

My preschooler is not comfortable with weaving yet. This activity is suitable for kids above seven years.
