I also find boys are usually more interested in sewing, especially in how the machine works. I helped with Heritage Day at a local school a few years ago. I think we had 3rd graders, too. We had them sew fabric strips together with hand crank machines and by the end of the day we had a strip quilt top to hang in the hallway for them to see on the way out to the buses.Kelly in PAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-34796496594248120932012-03-30T17:40:55.253-04:002012-03-30T17:40:55.253-04:00What fun!What fun!Machellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738263152444124730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-74104676048907775782012-03-30T13:33:30.342-04:002012-03-30T13:33:30.342-04:00Bonnie this looks like such fun.

They even had old fashioned names they went by. We, because I had to help hold things still until the glue dried, built a diorama of an one room school house. They also did candle dipping, and hand stitching and such. They had a great time. These type of activities make learning fun and the lessons are more likely to stick with the kids.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609969755522466701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70994076791905687852012-03-30T12:09:35.762-04:002012-03-30T12:09:35.762-04:00Looks like a great day!

I just love this "hands on" experience for the kids. I'll bet the younger grades look forward to being 3rd graders so they can do this.

One of the best things about quilting is sharing it, and with third graders is really cool! Great to show them that it is an old skill that has evolved and still lives today.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07085797856775645683noreply@blogger.com
