Sewing with a Plastic Needle

Sewing with a Plastic Needle

 Materials: Cardboard, Glisten mesh, wool and old plastic bottle.

Cut out the centre of the cardboard and secure the mesh in place with glue or tape.

Make the needle using an old plastic bottle as shown below.

Children love the idea of sewing and especially if they are using a safe needle.

The mesh can be substituted with large gauge fabric, netting or mesh.
Design profiles such as letters or numbers that go over the mesh can help the children to follow the lines.
 Thanks to the childcare students for the inclusion of their work.
