For those older children with obvious basket weaving talent, we show examples of dozens of ways to experiment with pattern weaves. We also use beads on the spokes or weavers for variety.  Visit our Art Teachers Page to see these ideas and more teachers tips. As the teacher flits about the room like a hummingbird, checking weaving tension and reassuring timid weavers, this basket assures that everyone goes home happy!
