Product Description : Editorial ReviewWhen it's time to move on from making potholders, crafters young and old will love working on this beautiful BRIO loom. Straight from the box (or in storage), the beechwood loom is just over 3 inches tall. Unfold it, put the side slats in place, and you have a ready-to-work loom measuring 10.5 by 16.25 by 11.25 inches. With warp threads in place and the start of the weft pattern as an example, the beginning weaver will find it easy and satisfying to complete his or her first project. Detailed instructions acquaint the new weaver with loom nomenclature and explain a step-by-step weaving process, including joining threads, finishing the fabric, setting up the warp for a new piece, and a description of linen and twist warps. Weavers can create a fabric up to 40 threads wide (approximately 5.5 inches) on this loom, but the fabric length is optional. The set includes three weft threads on three beechwood shuttles. This is not only a toy, but also a tool to teach weaving fundamentals. --Ava Natov Amazon.com Teacher ReviewWhat is so nice about this wooden loom is how much it resembles an authentic adult-size loom. It is neither cheap nor oversimplified, and it allows a child to create an attractive, functional mat while developing a sense of artistic pride. As children select colors and patterns, they improve their sense of color, spatial skills, and sequential patterning skills. Fine motor and practical life skills are also developed as the child maneuvers scissors, weaves bobbins, and manipulates the string and thread. --Kathryn Tracy, Certified Teacher, B.A. French Education, M.S.
