Materials needed: Three different dollar store fleece scarves and one sturdy piece of furniture to use as a braiding post.
How to:
1. Tie all three scarves in a knot on the post.
2. Call the child over and explain that you are going to show them how to braid.
3. Slowly and methodically demonstrate bringing pieces to the middle and tightening.
4. Show the child how to undo the braid when she's finished.
Using the different patterned scarves helps the child see what is happening to each strand. If all the strands are the same, it's hard to keep your place.
Middle practiced all week and was so pleased to finally know how to braid.
