The materials encourage a unique way to learn math, reading and language art skills and provide hours of creative fun. This Kit teaches design using the right triangle. Six boxes filled with right triangle-shaped fabric samples of assorted patterns and colors assist in the recreation of traditional and contemporary quilt patterns. Visual outlines enable students to match patterns or create their own quilt design. The Teacher's Guide includes an abundance of information on the history of quilts and the origins of quilt designs.
Students can try three different types of handmade looms for fiber and cloth weaving.
There is even an activity on dissecting cloth. The Spider Games book can help create a whole course on weaving. Learn about paper weaving, a very simple and familiar craft. Make paper hearts or experiment with your own designs. Two beautiful display panels can be used to designate a learning center.
