David Livingstone Birthplace

Weaving Activity

Try making your own mini loom and learn how to make your own woven masterpiece.

Use recycled materials or yarn to create your own little glass mat, or something bigger!

Don’t forget to share your creations on our social media platforms using #BirthplaceProject or send a photo to learning@dltrust.uk.
