Learning to weave a kete is a fun activity that enriches children’s learning about traditional Māori crafts. It can be used during Matariki to celebrate this special time of year or at any time of the year to teach children the skills of weaving. It is also a great way to build fine motor skills. There are three differentiated versions to choose from: The easiest level uses three strips of coloured paper and is ideal for young learners and those with limited fine motor skills. The medium level also uses three strips of paper, but the number of under/over movements has increased. The hardest level is great for older children and uses five strips of paper. This activity is ideal for the whole class, small groups, early finishers, rotating stations, and library sessions. I hope you and your children enjoy weaving their kete!
