Weaving with paper is a fun way to make a colorful mat.
First, cut a red sheet of paper into long, thin strips. Then fold a blue sheet in half and cut lines into the fold, being careful not to cut all the way to the edge. Open the sheet back up.
Now take a red strip and slide it over one blue line and under the next one. Keep going: over, under, over, under! Push each strip snugly into place, and soon you will have a neat woven mat.
