Japanese Temari Cards
I took a graduate class at St. Norbert years ago on Math and Art. Here is one of the projects from that class. I did these with students about 10 years ago, but I think I will do these again. I did them with students in 5th--8th grade. It might look complicated but the pattern of stitches makes this quite easy. First students poke the holes with a push pin onto black tagboard (I have copies of the pattern). Next students use about an arm's length of crochet string and begin making their diagonal stitches one way around the circle. When they have gone all the way around they go back the opposite way to make these "peaks". If students do this correctly the back has all straight stitches. I have directions--only through snail mail... let me know if you want a copy.

Hello! I have just found your blog through Pinterest. Although I was looking for another activity, I found this one which I really love! I teach Year 5 in a Steiner inspired school, and this would be great as part of my maths Geometry lessons! Would I be able to get a copy of the instructions please?

ReplyDeleteIf you still have a copy of this pattern I would love to have it. My son has done simpler things at school and he (and his friends) are often looking for things to make at home. Great idea. Thanks.
