This weaved Jonathan puzzle craft is deceptive, it looks like it would be easy but actually takes quite a lot of jiggling to get the image to line up. Not suitable for very young groups but a good challenge for the older kids. Once completed it can look amazing with a drop of colour and a bold colour card behind it. |
For this craft you will need the one page PDF, a colour card for backing onto, scissors and you may want glue or some sticky tape. For printing in Colour – with faces on palms PDF – two page For printing with NO Colour – with no faces on palms PDF – two page |
First cut the hands out, be careful and you may find it helpful to increase the split between the fingers a little. |
Weave the fingers together using a simple over under, over under, motion. once weaved you will have to slide the fingers around to line up the image. |
Once you’ve achieved the image you can fix the hands in place using sticky tape or glue and back onto a piece of coloured card before adding some colour to the picture. Alternatively, turn the hands over and make your own secret message by writing on the weaved hands then pulling them apart. |
