After painting and drawing different
scenarios of times when we gave something away or received a gift, the children
wanted to explore sewing. "We need a needle, string and scissors",
Emilie said. The children showed empathy towards the Quiltmaker. Practicing sewing made them realize the hard work required to make a quilt. Trystan said that, "Sewing involves a lot of patience and care". Sarah said that, "Sewing requires a lot of practice".
After sewing some parts of the quilt, the
children showed an understanding of the importance of appreciating each other’s
talents. It takes lots of practice, patience and determination to make
something. It also takes a lot of love and generosity to give it away to other
people.
