Today the children in the home room have been exploring the sewing area. We had a discussion about threading a needle and how it can be really difficult to do but once it is done we are able to create stitches on the sewing table. Together the children shared their thoughts and ideas on what to do next, as a group we decided they would like to try sewing something onto the hessian.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe children searched the sewing area and found a variety of different materials in different shapes, sizes, colours and patterns and they were able to choose\u00a0what they would like to use.
\nFirstly they drew patterns on the material that they chose to sew on and, with\u00a0a little support with they cut out shapes using the large scissors. We then used the hole punch to cut out holes in our material to make it easier to thread the two bits together, this needed a lot of concentration. The children used their hand and eye co- ordination while completing this task. At the end they talked to each other about their own creations.

\n\u201ccan we cut out love hearts?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dI can thread my needle?\u201d
\nWe decided using the Hessain table was easier than an individual piece.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201dI liked doing both\u201d
\n “I cut mine all by myself\u201d
\n“mine is stuck together\u201d<\/p>\n

The younger children have enjoyed threading the large buttons, they spend a lot of time doing this so we added some pine cones, sticks, pipe cleaners, ribbon and wool for them. The children needed a little guidance of what to do and before we knew it they were confidently picking materials to wrap, weave and twirl, all the time developing their fine motor skills and concentration.<\/span><\/p>\n
