Making Pois

Today Jacob's Mum Andrea taught us how to make a poi. First we scrunched newspaper sheets into a ball.We got a bit of string and tied one knot at one end and a double knot at the other. We covered the newspaper ball with fabric. Here are some photos for you to share in the fun we had making them. Enjoy !!!!!.
Thank you very much Andrea,!!!!!
