Tapestry

Imagine you were making a really cool picture with lots of different colored strings, like a rainbow. Now, instead of string, imagine you were using bigger pieces of cloth or fabric to make the picture. This is what a tapestry is!

A tapestry is usually made by weaving different colored threads or pieces of fabric together to make a picture or design. The threads go up and down and side to side and are woven together using a special tool called a loom.

Tapestries can be really big and are often hung on walls to make a room look nice or tell a story. Some tapestries are thousands of years old and can tell us about the history of the people who made them.

So, a tapestry is like a really cool picture made out of fabric that tells a story or makes a room look prettier!
