Sewing in the Montessori classroom fosters creativity, develops fine motor skills, and strengthens finger dexterity. Sewing is a work that students can continually improve and build on, learning many essential life skills.
The children of Primary 1 have been enjoying many new sewing projects this fall!
The children are dedicated to the projects they choose in addition to showing patience and enthusiasm.
Additional benefits of sewing include:
Expanded self-confidence and independence
Increased focus and concentration
Mastering a useful and lifelong skill
Gaining a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment
