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

There are many easy to start sewing projects and patterns available online that you can do with your child. Show us some of your sewing projects in the comments!
