Another idea: Help your child cut the top off a cereal box and make deep cuts every inch or so along the edge.\u00c2\u00a0Make a point on a piece of yarn by wrapping a strip of tape around one end. Then let your child weave the yarn through the holes in the berry basket, around the holes in the beverage carrier, around the cardboard tube, or in and out of the slits in the cereal box. Use different colors of yarn, and talk about the interesting designs she makes..\u00c2\u00a0Tape the end of a piece of yarn to the egg carton or bottle to start the winding action. Hold the item while your child winds and overlaps the yarn around it in colorful patterns. Discuss whether the yarn slides more on one surface than another. Why does she think that is?\u00c2\u00a0Work together to weave the separate pieces together with yarn to create a magnificent weaving sculpture.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\">Learning benefits:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;\">\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0builds fine-motor skills (wrist movement, pincer grasp)<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0enhances problem-solving skills<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0encourages creativity<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turn ordinary objects into an interesting sculpture. \u00c2\u00a0 plastic berry basket cereal box plastic beverage carrier egg cartons paper-towel tube plastic soda bottle child scissors assorted colors of thick and medium yarn masking tape \u00c2\u00a0 Collect a variety of recyclable items that your child can weave yarn through or around, such as a berry basket, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,33,16,38,15,12],"tags":[126,225,92,174],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=217"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1927,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217\/revisions\/1927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
