Check out these cutie woven birdhouses by grade 2!

We began by creating patterned paper with Mr. Sketch watercolor markers. The process for getting the neat tie-dye effect can be found here. Next, we created a weaving with construction paper. This is how I create a loom with my students. We cut one of the pattern papers into a triangle or trapezoid or semi-circle to create a roof. Students created a circle for the hole in their birdhouse ad used colorful construction paper to make a bird or any animal that they want. There were birds, cats, dogs, unicorns, narwhals, lizards, eagles, alligators, turtles, mice, and all sorts of other creatures!
