More Kente Cloth

3rd grade just completed a 2 month long unit on African Kente cloth.  Students first made paper Kente weavings (posted earlier) then they moved on to weaving with a loom and yarn.  Finally students made a silhouette painting using Kente cloth paper prints as clothing for their figures.

All the looms layed out side by side

Once the weaving was complete we added a sting to turn it into a neckless.
