These are the hooks I am "hooked" on :)

they are metal and bamboo! the bamboo feels just like their thick pencils in class and since the crochet hook supports their dominant hand for handwriting.... it is perfect!
I got my year 3/4s to whittle some hooks. We found sticks in the playground. sharpened the end with a sharpener. Whittled the end we would use. I cut the V in the end and then they sanded and polished the rest. They worked a treat and much less expensive than buying a set. If they lost one they just started again.
ReplyDeletewow that is a big task...for me at least!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed!
