The Art of Cross Stitching

Maia and her mother energized our art studio with a brand new activity.

This was a whole new way to sew!

The children were invited to draw on brightly coloured canvas 

and then stitch over their designs.

Hoops were used to hold the fabric nice and tight.

Mrs. Fields shared what she knew and offered help to the children 

as they learned a new skill.

They caught right on!

 

Miss Wilkins, our student educator, was on hand 

to lend a hand for this very popular centre!

Thank you for sharing your talent with our kindergarten friends Mrs. Fields.

And an extra special Thank You for the hoops and canvas 

that are now a part of our open art studio!

Making Hats For New Born Babies

The children have been busy using the knitting rings to make hats for newborns. A hook is used to carry a bottom loop of yarn over a top loop of yarn. It takes plenty of patience and co-ordination!

Two yarns are combined to give a different look. 

Through perseverance and team work, many hats are making their way to babies. The children feel that they have done something very good for the babies that will wear these hats!
