String Webs

Westley started this at Grandma and Grandpa's house in the morning when he found a piece of string. He was going to decorate their bathroom (see more bathroom decorating from Oct 2009)
We decided it looked like he was making a web, so I provided him with more string. He found his own creative ways of getting the string to stay where he wanted

Not sure how thrilled Grandma was about having her bathroom turned into a spiderweb, but we thought it was fun.

When we got home I gave Westley yarn. He asked for tape, but I told him no, that it was part of the game to see what he could do without it. This turned into be one of my favorite activities.
This lesson used physics, patience, and body awareness. I was impressed as Westley was meticulous about where he put the yarn and how he would get it to stay.  He worked quickly and was good at it. It kept him busy for 15 minutes and he would have done it for much longer if we didn't have time constraints.
I'm sure he will be stringing again first thing in the morning.
