 Braiding activity: 

Creating braiding was a fun activity for me since I really do enjoy making things and get my hand (somewhat) dirty. This was really special because I do not get opportunity to make things just with hands and the raw materials, which is different from working with other tools and glues that also requires great precision and accuracy. Not that braiding does not require precision and accuracy, but it purely relies on your hands and its sense of touch to come to such conclusion. In a sense this is similar to solving math or physics question because once you solve the questions, it requires the confidence and intuition of the one solving so they can also agree with the answer they found. I think there is a difference between knowing how to approach the solution and intuitively knowing if it is correct, and they are both very important in finding answers. 

I think this kind of activity is also beneficial for the students who gets easily distracted. Creating braid is not too complicated that I can do it as I am listening to someone else talk and still have comprehension of it, so it can benefit someone as a fidget spinner could. Also, creating something give one sense of pride and accomplishment as well, which could be beneficial for students' mental health as well.
