Children develop a more meaningful understanding of the concepts ‘pushing and pulling’ and ‘in and out’ as they learn the process of sewing.

You will need:

• Some stiff cardboard, cut into shapes
• A hole punch
• Scraps of wool or string
• Some sticky tape to wrap around the end to make threading easier

Ask your child’s key person if you would like to borrow a plastic needle or some wool.

“There is a tendency to insist on the result of the cooking or sewing looking like a perfect product, but sometimes a less perfect result may have involved the child in more creative thinking.” (Bruce 2011)
