"Children's guests made these simple baskets in birthday party colors. The kids were so excited to take them home."
Brittany L., mom of ages 3 and 6.

"Kids made baskets and experimented with paper weaving. A basket maker showed us more challenging techniques."
Jesse P., art class assistant.

Baskets are typically made of materials that fall apart over time, so there are not many examples of very old baskets. Usually baskets are made from materials found locally. Some of these materials include bamboo, banana leaves and bark, jute, raffia, rattan, savannah grass, and sisal. What types of materials are used in baskets weaving in your area?
