Handicrafts


Handicrafts are a core aspect of our curriculum. I enjoy things like sewing and knitting and while I want the children to also learn them for fun, more importantly I just want them to have that knowledge. If you can sew a button and a straight line, there are countless household projects you can do, from making curtains and table clothes, to hand-crafting costumes and gifts. I used to say that you could also save yourself all kinds of money but have you seen all the fabulous fabrics there are out there? Forget it! Here Jackson and Jane are working on those plastic weave boards and yarn. Remember those? I promise not to teach them how to make Kleenex boxes that we would then give to you for Christmas.
