My daughter asked for a lap loom for Christmas this past year. She has spent a lot of time immersed in the pleasures of fiber arts. So many skills can be learned from following your interest. Weaving is reading a graph, counting, following a pattern, geometry, fine motor skills, and this is without even mentioning the artistic value. She is playing with color and design, building her attention span, and gaining confidence in her own abilities. She has made many items for our house with her weaving, knitting and sewing in the past few years. Making items that are lovely and functional is a wonderful way to value your children's art.
