Make Do and Mend

Project Overview

This companion mini project teaches children a range of simple sewing stitches, including ways of recycling and repurposing old clothes and materials.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy โ€“ Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express โ€“ to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.
