THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
Look at all the uncolored baskets that you have a chance to see and select the basket that you think is the best. Why do you think it is the best? What is it used for? How is it woven?
Look at the baskets that are made of two or more colors and select the one that you think is best. Why do you think it is best? How do you think the colors were made? Can you tell how the pattern is woven in this basket?
Can you think of any colors that the Cave-men could use in their weaving before they learned to color reeds and splints?
