Nature Weaving- Homeschool Activity

I came across this pin on Pinterest a few days ago and wanted to give it a try! We live on 5-acres and the entire perimeter is wooded so it was pretty easy to find some “Y” shaped branches.

I asked what color yarn they wanted to use and the chose red and blue.  I would personally go with something more natural like cotton twine but the kids wanted bright colors. It’s their project so I let them do whatever they want! I tied a knot around the base of one of the sides and started wrapping it around and across going around each branch twice so that the yarn would be somewhat secure instead of just sliding all around the place.

Allie picked some weeds and started weaving those through. {Don’t mind her blueberry stained face. She’s my food monster.}
