Summer time for us means time at the lake. Time unplugged and time for hand crafts.
Last year finger knitting was a hit with the kids and this year they asked to start again when I pulled out my knitting.
My youngest decided she was not happy with the feeling of yarn on her fingers and had troubles picking up and putting down her knitting.
So I hunted through the cabin and made a spool loom for her!
I used:
2 toilet paper tubes
2 elastics
4 crayons
I shoved one tube into the other to make it more crush resistant. Then used the elastics to hold the 4 crayons in place.
Voila! And easy diy spool loom!
The gauge is good on aran/worsted weight yarn and creates great texture!
She has been happily knitting for the past week! Now to decide what to do with that long chain….
What make-do items have you made for kid crafts?
Thoughts?
