Basket Weaving

     Here's a fun idea for weaving baskets in kindergarten!  Collect enough berry baskets (works well with either 2 rows of holes or 3 rows) for your class.  Cut enough fabric strips about 1" wide and a bit longer than the distance around your baskets.  Children weave the strips around the basket trying to go in and out the holes.  They can tie the ends or ask for some assistance and trim any excess fabric after tying.  I staple a 1" strip of foam for the handle.  Try to staple into the fabric and the plastic basket for stability.  That's it!

Yours truly,
