11 sewing cards: super-easy and very colorful, creative projects
It is always great to find a creative project suitable for children (but which adults would enjoy too!) and that is fun and educational. And, of course, some types of creative activities are ideal for exercising and refining the motor skills of children, who, at the same time, can let their imaginations run riot and express their own artistic and aesthetic tastes.
Among these types of projects, there are some super-simple sewing/embroidery ones that involve the use of paper shapes, balls of wool and spools of thread (perhaps the latter being easier to handle by older children). Below, you will find some ideas for undertaking a bunch of cheerful and colorful sewing projects!
