Over-and-under, and over-and-under again: that's how even very young children around the world start weaving, with the simplest, most basic technique possible. Introduce youngsters to this wonderful creative craft, and develop their skills in small, easy-to-master steps till they're constructing pouches, mug rugs, tapestry pictures, place mats, and belts--plus beautiful multicultural objects like braided and seed-bead bracelets, a beaded medicine pouch, even baskets. Designed and written specifically for teachers of students as young as eight or nine, the colorful projects rely mostly on materials common in homes or schools--paper, yarn, ribbon, rags, string, beads. And, when they're ready for something a little more complicated, there are even instructions for making and cording simple looms! A fun experience awaits all. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
