Third grade embroidery

Since most of the third graders are almost finished carving their printing blocks in order to print their mola designs, they have been learning and practicing their embroidery skills using basic stitches.  The idea is that they will be printing their mola designs on fabric and embroidering the details on them.  
Surprisingly enough, the biggest challenge so far has been threading the needles!


 

This activity is wonderful for third graders to develop their very fine motor skills.
