Handwork Throughout the Curriculum
Hands need to become skillful, sensitive, and strong so they can accomplish many wonderful deeds. Through knitting, cross-stitch, crochet, weaving, sewing, and embroidery the children become aware of their hand and the great gifts they can create. Through beauty, color and form the activity of the fingers stirs the senses that connect the child to the world. Her whole world of thought begins to move. Handwork is imaginatively and artistically taught, encouraging original designs in cotton, wool, and silk.
