In the craziness I like to call life, I ran out of time to show you the neat craft I did with my son's class for St. Patrick's Day. It started with this rainbow of colorful yarn...
I originally saw this idea at Filth Wizardry to use that rubbery shelf liner as a sewing medium. What a fantastic idea! It works great for kids who are learning and practicing simple stitches. I loved how she drew pictures on the shelf liner, and used the rainbow to fit in with our St. Patrick's Day craft.
The kids all worked really hard on this - boys and girls alike! I cut out a cloud for the kids to stitch to one side of their rainbow and a pot for the other end. They each got a few Rolos to add as gold to their pots also. It ended up being a two day project but everyone was able to take home their beautiful rainbow, complete with pot of gold.
Here is my son's finished project!
They turned out so cute! Was it tough for the kids to do?
ReplyDeleteLaura, a majority of the kids seemed to get it, but just needed a little practice before they really got moving. Those who didn't finish on the first day, finished pretty quickly on the second. There was a handful of students who finished on the first day, but also a handful of students who needed A LOT of help. Our biggest problems were losing the yarn from the needle and not stitching correctly.
