ROPE BRAIDING
Reuse cardboard to make a yarn-plaiting tool to create an armband, necklace, key fob, and more. Dating back to the ancient Egyptians, this technique is used to make fiber cords, ropes, and metal chains. There are endless connections to math, pattern-making, repetition, and more.
Working with fibers helps with fine motor skills, stress reduction, cognitive improvement, boosts self-esteem, and regulates anxiety, happiness, and mood!
