Weaver? I don't even know 'er.
Jan 18, 2009
I stumbled on this fabulous crafty blog for kids, and have bookmarked, like 12 of the posts. It's great. Phoebe came out one morning while I was checking my blogs, and we looked at some of the Crafty Crow posts together. She was really interested in this post from Unplug Your Kids with the weaving loom, so I promised we'd get the supplies and set one up.
I accidentally bought a plastic frame instead of a wooden one, but not to be deterred, hammered some nails up in it anyway. It was fine, but definitely not as sturdy as a wooden frame. Balls. Anyway, I tied some string on, and got it all set up for her. I showed her once or twice, and she grabbed it and took over. It's love, and I'm seriously shocked that she's as good at it as she is. It is kind of complicated, but she got the hang of it right away.
She told me she's making a rug for her dollhouse. She also said that she loves it, and I'm the best mom ever. Score!

I had a toy loom when I was a kid, which went to a jumble sale or something many moons ago. At the time it was kind of interesting, but I didn't know quite what to make with it and was a little lacking in patience. Now I'm all grown up and stuff I keep wishing I still had it to play with.
That is wicked cool. I remember having one as a kid as well. Hmm... I got me an old frame 'round here somewhere!
