Children take to leaf weaving faster than adults do, mostly because they are not worried about making a mistake. This kit removes the two things that slow a beginner down: cutting strips evenly and keeping the leaf soft enough to bend.
What is in the box
Every kit contains a bundle of pre-cut strips, softened and ready to use, a smooth wooden tool for tightening the weave, and a printed guide that shows each fold in a clear drawing with a short sentence beside it. No reading ahead is needed. One picture, one step.

Use the strips within about a week of opening the bag. They stay soft in the sealed packaging but dry out once exposed to air.
Children do not need a simpler craft. They need a clearer one.
Finished baskets are usually lopsided and always charming. That is the right result for a first attempt.
