Mexican symmetrical crafts

CHECK OUT ROOM 4'S LATEST MATHS - YES MATHS! We made these Mexican God's Eyes to help demonstrate rotational symmetry.
Wikipedia tells us that a God's eye is a yarn weaving and a spiritual object. The Ojo de Dios (Eye of God in Spanish) is woven with yarn and wood, often with several colors. Traditionally they have been created for celebration or blessing, presented as a gift or designed to bless a home.
We had great fun creating our own God's eyes and soon got the hang of it.  Some of us even made a second one using sticks from nature.
