Another project that I “revisited” was a ball stuffy. Basically, the shape was ball formed by wedge-like pieces sewn together. Keeping the ball shape in mind, you can create an object or animal. I decided to make some farm animals. These were hand stitched and again I integrated these cute stuffies into a potential 8 week curriculum.
This project required a lot of planning in terms of placing the pieces. I made it clear in the plan that planning must be done on paper first, and numbering each ‘wedge’ piece to help the students keep track when they hand stitch them together.
Lunch time program projects must not require machines!
