We often have the kids do “real” sewing at camp. Today was a little different, we did a group project. With real “pointy” needles the kids sewed a face for our scarecrow, stuffed a shirt, coveralls then put everything together to create the body then plopped the head on top. During the process some kids were stuffing, some were sewing the face and at one point everyone was sewing colorful patches on the scarecrow’s shirt and coveralls. The group aspect made this really fun. There were a few pokes with the needles but no tears and everyone learned what sharp means.
