RE: #needleworkmonday : Passing on skills ... crocheting
The children at Escuela Caracol (where I used to teach) make their own knitted pencil cases as a handworks project in first or second grade too. It's such a great and useful thing for a child to have, and I think it really gives them a sense of accomplishment to know that they can make things with their own two hands. Bravo!
You were a teacher for knitting in school? How cool is that!
I was actually a mixed-age kindergarten teacher, but the children in primary school had a handworks class where they learned to knit and carve and craft all sorts of lovely things!
That sounds like a lot of fun!
Thank you @colleenthurber... I agree with you about the sense of accomplishment.
The school link's not working at the moment; I will go back later... but did they call their pencil cases 'estuches' ?
They do!
