Mystery Pattern Placemats Lesson Short
Mystery Pattern Placemats Lesson Short
It’s mid-autumn (or any season, really) and you want to create something funky and functional that will grab your students’ attention and KEEP them focused amidst holiday frenzies or mid-year burnout.
I’ve got you covered with this stunning paper weaving project.
In this lesson, students will use lines to create a mystery pattern placemat using the simplest paper weaving technique — the tabby stitch.
These placemats are not only super easy to make, but they’re also such a fun gift to bring home for dinner-heavy holidays! And if it’s not a placemat, it’s a totally rad wall tapestry.
Paper weaving is one of the best ways to strengthen fine motor skills, develop dexterity, and improve hand-eye coordination. Not to mention the flow state that naturally occurs once students get into a rhythm!
Make a single mat or an entire set for the whole family! Make them big, make them small. Your kids will LOVE this paper weaving project!
