This is great! I am doing centers with my Kindergarten this year, and always looking for relevant centers that they can do without my a lot of assistance… love it! 🙂

I love this idea for teaching ‘line’ to my first graders! I’m just curious where I can buy the wire, if you have any suggestions? 🙂

  You can buy Twisteez wire from Dick Blick and Nasco. Enjoy!

  It is not very big, maybe 5″x5″ or smaller. I bought big sheets of styrofoam and cut them in half. Arts/crafts stores have them.
