Fish weave, kindergarten

Kindergarteners are learning the weaving skill using a subject of great beauty in our world - tropical fish! After discussing the shapes found on a poster like this one, we drew large ovals and prepped them for weaving by cutting the slits in the center.

The following week, we used "over and under" patterns to weave the centers of our fish, creating texture and color patterns. We finished them off with a group of paper shapes for fins and tails, and some fish faces - some scary and some cute!
