Introduce the kiddos to yarn at the
Textile Center off University in Minneapolis.
Our homeschool group headed there one day in March for storytime, an art project and a tour. I was quite impressed with the art work in the building, and of course, we wanted everything in the gift shop, being the yarn lovers we are!
 |
| Our field trip began with a story... "Wilbur" by Leslie Helakoski, the tale of a crazy sheep that doesn't quite fit in. |
 |
| Then the kiddos selected fistfuls of fiber and dipped smaller amounts of it in soapy water. They worked the fiber in their hands until... |
 |
| They had made felted balls! |
 |
| Next the kids used a needle and thread to sew them together an fashion key chains. |
 |
| The artwork on display was simply amazing. What a person can do with lace and dirt... |
The Inside Out Outside In: Domestic Commitments exhibit is by by Sandra Menefee Taylor, and was viewed March 10 – April 30, 2016. The current exhibit, "A Common Thread," is open through Feb. 25.
 |
| This "lace" was formed by shaking dirt through a piece of lace to see the lacy pattern on the ground. Breathtakingly beautiful, isn't it? |
 |
| Because we were so close, we checked out the "Witches Tower" in Prospect Park. What lively play it sparked! |
