[Simply Nurtured]

My littlest guy, (6) has taken an interest in sewing today. I needed to sew a button on my coat, he wanted to help. Then after that was done, he said he wanted to learn more. So I got a scrap of fabric, a larger needle and thread and he is making a little pillow for one of his stuffed animals. Just basic stitches, and he next to me here, saying how much fun it is, telling me I am a good sewing teacher.

How sweet. He is learning a valuable skill that every person should know, sewing a basic stitch and how to sew on a button.

Definately! Plus, fine motor development, eye-hand coordination, measuring, estimation, vocabulary...
