Making: ‘Sewing’ Activity For Three-Year-Olds
Our three-year-old Brie saw me did some sewing the other day.
And she was curious.
She saw the needle and thread going in and out, yet she knew (read: was taught) how she couldn’t touch them just yet.
So.
I thought, why not make a simple ‘sewing’ activity for her?
The idea is, to basically allow her to put the ‘thread’ in and out the different holes.
And, I made this for her! =)
A recycled cardboard with holes PLUS a string (I used our pink wool yarn, since Brie loves pink so much)
Voila!
One simple and almost free ‘toy’ that allows the child to concentrate, create different patterns, and exercise her hand-eye coordination skill!
Ah. Feels good to create and recycle at the same time!
Have fun making your very own ‘sewing board’!
…
PS: When making your own, the shape can always vary, depending on how you’d like to have it done, eg. If your child loves fishes, why not make a fish shape using the cardboard? Happy creating!

I love it when kids sew and I fail to understand why they have stopped teaching sewing in sec school.

Hi Agy,
Come to think of it … ya, it’d be nice wouldn’t it … if older kids are exposed to sewing activities too at school. Not to be experts , but just to get them exposed to the ‘skill’..
Anyway, thanks for stopping by! =)
