kids and paper
[email protected]
If you take the thread out of a sewing machine and set the stitches pretty
close, it makes a WONDERFUL performation machine.
When Holly was three and Marty was six, he used to get he oversized American
Girls dolls and "sew" around the edges of the pictures, and let Holly punch
them out.
I was given that exercise as a kid by my mom or girl scout leader, I forget
which, to go along the lines of notebook paper without thread to practice
straight stitches.
That was all well and good but the COOL part was the paper could be stripped
up along those lines, by folding first or not.
And since then we've made perforated two-part tickets for home plays (or just
for tearing up).
It's fun on the sewing end and fun on the tearing end.

I love this! My almost 10 yr old has been 'playing' on an old Singer I
picked up at a yard sale....she'll absolutely enjoy combining her interest
in paper shredding and in the sewing machine.
Susan...who just yesterday found the kidlets playing "paper dolls" - they
used each others bodies as the dolls and made outfits with cut paper and
thread.
