7. Tips for Success and Common Questions

A few expert tips can make the difference between a good basket and a great one.

💡 1. Ensuring Stability

If your basket feels wobbly, reinforce the bottom by gluing a second, uncut paper plate to the inside bottom. For very heavy treats, consider using a cardboard plate as the base.

💡 2. Ideal Age Group and Supervision

This craft is excellent for ages 5 and up. Younger children will need help with cutting the plate strips and starting the weave. Always supervise scissor use. Pre-cutting the plates and strips can make the activity faster and more accessible for little ones.

💡 3. Making it a Learning Activity

Discuss patterns (over-under, checkboard), colors, and textures. Weaving also naturally teaches patience, sequencing, and hand-eye coordination. It's a perfect STEAM activity disguised as fun.
