What you need:

  • empty cereal boxes
  • different coloured wool
  • embroidery needle for kids
  • scissors
  • hammer & nail

  2. Help your child draw a simple design on the cardboard.
  3. Put the cutouts on a wooden board and, with hammer and nail, punch holes all along the drawing – like “connect the dots”.
  4. Help your child thread the wool through the embroidery needle.
  5. Tie a knot at the end and let your child start stitching from the back of the card.
