The children have shown interest in tying ropes around posts, so an adult suggested using wool to wrap around the wooden posts.

The children used large balls of wool to wrap around the posts, some of them weaved the wool in and out and others crossed it inside, making ‘a spiders house’ as one child told me.

They were deeply involved in working out all the different ways the wool could be woven through the posts.

One child spent ages inside the web wrapping the wool carefully around itself.

Two very exciting boys negotiated their way through telling me they had made it through the lasers.

A great creative and problem solving activity and easy to do at home.
