Recycled Paper Weaving

::A Simple Afternoon Project:
So you can't keep EVERY painting, coloring page & scrap doodle, but you can re-use some of them! We're all about printing on the back of old copies, painting on trash-mail, recycling unwanted solicitations & today we did just that.
recycled paper weaving
fold a piece of construction paper in half & cut straight lines from the folded edge leaving 1 inch uncut at the top.
waldorf homeschool
cut up strips of scrap paintings, etc. in all different widths.
waldorf education
all materials required.
paper craft
weaving with childrenhow to paper weave
Unfold the construction paper & weave, weave, weave! (we even through in some strands of yarn for fun)

oak meadow curriculum
the finished products are great! Laminated they'd make great place-mats...

A quick & easy project for little fingers (& it was much fun for me too).

    Elizabeth made those in art class in kindergarten, and I thought they were the sweetest things! I wish I'd saved it and made it into a placemat now! :)

    This is a very cute idea and I love that you can make placemats out of them. I also loved the bean activity. I think you are doing a lot more than you think you are doing to stimulate your youngins! You are definitely doing a lot more than I am:) They are just lucky if they get fed:)

    yeh. I guess I'll go to Office Depot for that? & Kallie, you have a good excuse. making siblings is MUCH harder than weaving paper & counting beans...
