Have children practice the in and out finger movements for stitchery as a finger play. Transition to small tables or a spot on the rug.
Children can weave the colored yarn in and out to fill the space.
They may need your help to thread the eye of the needle or to tie knots of yarn as they begin and end each line of color. Display this colorful stitchery art with pride. Set up a make believe tailor shop. Children can pretend to sew clothes or repair torn items. May use chain link fence if available.
