Instructions
1. Connect six-pack rings with tape or staples to make one large rectangle or
square shape.
2. Hang it up at children's eye level, possibly on a clothesline that holds wet
paintings.
3. Let a few children at a time weave yarn, string, or ribbon back and forth
through the holes, as if they are sewing: over, under, over, under, etc.
4. Leave it hanging for a few weeks until it is full of colors and textures. This
makes a beautiful wall hanging and is great for hand-eye coordination.
