HISTORY | INSTRUCTIONS

Discover the art of traditional Indigenous craftsmanship with our Cradleboard Crafting Kit, a comprehensive package designed to provide an immersive 45-60 minute crafting experience. This kit is perfect for educators, students, and hobbyists eager to explore the intersection of Indigenous engineering, history, art, and social studies through a hands-on project.

The kit includes everything needed to assemble a cradleboard: three distinct types of laces (base, body, and carrying), a baseboard with pre-drilled holes, a protection strap, a backstrap, and a body wrap. To ensure a sturdy construction, carpenter's glue, which dries in 15 minutes, is recommended but not included.

Following simple step-by-step instructions, crafters will apply glue to the baseboard's groove, assemble the components, and lace the body wrap to create a traditional cradleboard. This engaging activity not only teaches valuable crafting skills but also offers insights into the use of biological materials, folklore, and the significance of the cradleboard in Indigenous cultures, providing a rich educational experience across multiple disciplines.
