We celebrated a 5th birthday today, with 'E',
a friend of Mr Turtles, from school.
He came up with the idea of giving her a sewing kit. Thinking that 'E' would rather make herself something than my making something for her.
Although I snuck a little hand-made in anyway.

What a sweet gift, must make one for myself! Love how Mr Turtle sticks his tongue out as he concentrates!
ReplyDeleteHaving a sewing kit to hand is essential for me!
DeleteMaybe have a peek at this post Kelly - http://lovesbyletabon.blogspot.com.au/2011/03/needle-pin-book-craft-trinket-tin.html
I still use this exact kit today. It has everything I need ღ
Doing things like this in class would give children a real sense of achievement although I think it would take more than a few days with the time allowed for each activity.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean sewing the strawberry onto a piece of felt? If you chose a simple design, like a heart, that should be faster for the children to sew. You could perhaps make a book mark instead? ღ
