Knot Netting

In this activity, youth will get a chance to understand net structure by making knots and differently shaped nets. Nets have been used for thousands of years to trap, carry, protect, and store items. Today, netting structures are found in hammocks, basketball nets, insect traps, tennis nets, plant hangers, shopping bags, belts, clothing, hockey/soccer goals, etc.
