Is your child begging to use a needle and thread and sew like mommy? This fun paper sewing craft is perfect for when you need to keep your little one’s fingers busy, and put a little extra effort into the development of their ever-important hand-eye coordination.
What you need:
- empty cereal boxes
- different coloured wool
- embroidery needle for kids
- scissors
- hammer & nail
How to make them
- Cut different shapes out of the cereal boxes and lay the cardboard pieces on the table.lay Video
- Help your child draw a simple design on the cardboard.
- Put the cutouts on a wooden board and, with hammer and nail, punch holes all along the drawing – like “connect the dots”.
- Help your child thread the wool through the embroidery needle.
- Tie a knot at the end and let your child start stitching from the back of the card.
