Activities to do with Yarn - Art

If there is one thing that is universal for every single preschool program it's that you never seem to have enough materials for all of the activities that you want to do with the children. Over the years I've gotten pretty good at creating fun experiences with very few supplies.  I thought it would be fun to focus on one simple supply and share a ton of easy activities that you can do to meet different learning domains. This week is going to be all about things you can do with yarn.

Yarn is a creative material - while it is generally intended to be used for knitting, crocheting, and weaving it is also a material that can be easily manipulated by children for exploring line, shape, color, and texture.  Here are some fun ideas for art projects using yarn:

Yarn and watercolors

Seasonal shape art
