Sewing Club Week 1

During the month of April I'm running my sewing club twice a week. The first week's project was sewing decorations onto a baseball cap. Children learned the basics of sewing and became comfortable holding and using a needle and thread. They learned that the tiny hole in the needle is called the 'eye'. They thought that was very funny!

Sewing activities help younger children develop manual dexterity and manipulative skills. By using their hands, children more fully integrate learning experiences. Sewing and other kinds of handwork extend the benefits of practical life work for the older child. Children will continue to develop fine motor skills and concentration, while building self-confidence with successful experiences. 

I focused on the children's creative process and let them know that each of their projects were unique and special because they sewed the decorations on all by themselves!
