I first came across paper weaving as part of the Y5 art unit on containers. As a supply teacher, I have since used it as my stock art lesson, which with minor adaptations, works well for Y2-Y6. There is no mess and it is generally well received.
Most primary schools stock A4 coloured paper. A4 paper is 21cm wide so 3cm width is a good starting point for most children. Many children will then feel able to try other narrower widths – some will not! It’s a good idea to have several different colours and sizes photocopied before the lesson.
This resource consists of:
1)\tA PowerPoint presentation which runs through a basic technique for using the templates and includes some ideas for what to do with the finished weaving.
2)\tTemplates for 3cm, 2cm, 1.5cm & 1cm weaving and an 8 x 8 grid for those who want to produce a chess board.
