Happy Birthday, Harry!Last week, in preparation for his birthday, Harry shared with us that his favorite color is brown. We posed the question, What can you think of that's brown? Harry: Brown like some trees. Noah: Brown like roots. Van: Tree branches are brown. Benji: And I just saw a big stick and I held it in my hand. Noah: Big tree out there. Graham: An owl is brown. Thomas: Our clay is brown. Harry: Birds can be brown. Dahlia: A brown bear! Van: And also reindeers. Acorns! With brown in mind, Betsy and Benji, Harry's birthday committee, set out to weave. First, Benji and Betsy spent some time familiarizing themselves with the new, horizontal loom that Sam and Victor made for us (thanks, guys!). We noticed that the children wove so smoothly while using the large loom for our winter weaving, and hypothesized that it was because they could easily access both sides of the weaving and therefore both hands could work in tandem. With that in mind, we decided to create this specialized tool. To make Harry's message, we wondered, what colors could we mix together to create brown? We need the brown all around. - Betsy Let's Celebrate!
