Kids will learn the basics of weaving through this interwoven, hands-on experience that will inspire their creativity! They'll learn how to thread a frame loom and use different types of yarn and materials to create unique, woven works of art. Using a previously assembled frame loom (that the students can keep for future use), they'll use cotton yarn to thread the loom under tension to create a warp. After the warp is made, they'll learn how to do a basic plain weave pattern to create the weft.

Throughout the experience or series, kids will have the opportunity to experiment using different yarns with time to get into "flow" and fully enjoy the art of weaving. Trying different colors and fiber interactions, found and non-traditional materials, and letting their imaginations run while, they'll discover what their weaving will become. Is it something functional like a blanket for a stuffy? Or will it be a masterpiece work of art to hang on the wall?

Weather and location permitting, kids can gather natural and found materials, like twigs and leaves, to incorporate into their weavings. At the final stage of the experience, they'll learn how to finish their works to remove them from the loom for display and reuse the loom for more projects. This experience is recommended for ages 7+.

Thanks for requesting this experience! We'll be in touch via text shortly.

What Parents Are Saying

We LOVED everything about Grasshopper! The customer service experience was exceptional! I felt like so much intentionality was taken to ensure that the activity would be both age appropriate and fun for my kids. Our experience leader was so easy going and chatted with the kids during the experience, and really took the time to engage and get to know them. We are definitely going to be using Grasshopper again! Thank you!

Grasshopper offered my daughter an opportunity to learn in a vibrant, fun setting that was continuously customized for her attention span and interests. Her Grasshopper teacher was fun, engaging and supremely personable. She took the time to get to know my daughter before diving into anything. I felt more than comfortable leaving my daughter in such capable hands…and love that she truly learned some new things from the experience. We will be using Grasshopper regularly to broaden her horizons and expose her to new concepts in a safe and compelling way. The icing on the cake is that the experience took place in our home, at a time that was convenient for us!

Our Grasshopper experience was amazing! I have four very curious kids at different ages with different interests, and the experience had all four of them engaged the whole time. Also, as an educator, I was very impressed with how the teacher led the program. She obviously knew what she was doing, and the minute she left, my kids were asking for another experience.
