Spark Before Dark: Straw Weaving Bracelets

What ignites your child? Here is a chance to allow them to explore and create something new, helping them find their spark. Spark Before Dark will be held at the Wabash County Extension Office and led by University of Illinois Extension staff. Youth in second through eighth grade are eligible to participate and do not have to be 4-H members to attend.

September Activity: Straw Weaving Bracelet. Participants will make woven bracelets using straws while learning about sheep and wool! We will explore how wool is a natural fiber that comes from sheep, learn how sheep are ruminant animals, and discover how weaving is one of the oldest ways humans have turned wool and other natural fibers into useful items.
