They invented <strong>snowshoes</strong> to walk on top of deep snow, and warm <strong>moccasins</strong> for their feet.",
            "Plains hunters made bows, arrows, and a carrying frame called a <strong>travois</strong> that horses or dogs could pull. Many of these inventions were so smart that people STILL use them today — canoes, snowshoes, and moccasins are in stores right now!"

Unfold — this is your loom.<br><strong>Step 2:</strong> Cut the second sheet into strips.<br><strong>Step 3:</strong> Weave each strip over-under-over-under through the slits. Start the next strip under-over-under-over.<br><strong>Step 4:</strong> Push the strips snug together. You've woven like a basket maker!",
