Sewing stuffed toys is always a favourite. Over the years we have created stuffed food items, aliens and emojis. I usually prepare lots of templates to help guide the children if they are a first time sewer - most are! I guide them through each step, how to cut out templates, draw around them on felt, cut them out and finally how to thread a needle a sew. We look at how to create neat running stitches, over stitches, casting off as well as sewing on buttons and beads. This is an excellent project for improvements with manual dexterity.
