What projects/activities have you done with yarn?

Please keep in mind that these children are preschool children (2.5yr-5 yrs). Open-ended projects are what I'm looking for the most. We "came upon" quite a bit of yarn and I would like some fresh ideas of how to use it in our classroom.

    Cut the yarn into strings. It is even better for you to put the yarn out with some scissors and let the children cut it. After you have a good amount of yarn cut, you can use it for yarn collages. Using some oaktag or a paper plate, the children can dip the yarn in glue and put it on their paper.

    Yarn is also great for a teaching tool. At group time, read a book about shapes. Show the children how you can make a shape out of pieces of string (for example, three pieces of string for a triangle). Have the children practice making one shape by passing out strings. My kids always love this. String also sticks to felt, so you can put string out at the felt board for the children to practice making shapes or to make string art. Hope these help!
