Mini Quilts, Big Learning: Pre-K3 Students Stitching Their Way Through Colors and Shapes
Our Pre-K3 students recently embarked on a quilting adventure. Armed with little sewing machines and big imaginations, they worked together to create their very own mini quilts. This hands-on project was not just about stitching fabric… it was a fun, interactive way to incorporate valuable lessons in color and shape recognition!
Each child selected their own fabrics, learning how to identify and sort by colors like red, blue, yellow, and green. As they sewed, they also worked to keep their lines straight, enforcing fine motor skills. It was fascinating to see how these young minds began to understand the relationships between the pieces as they pieced their quilts together.
The process encouraged fine motor skills, problem-solving, and teamwork, all while they learned about the importance of patterns and symmetry. The final result? Beautiful, one-of-a-kind mini quilts that reflect the creativity and academic growth of our little ones. We couldn’t be prouder of our Pre-K3 quilters, who not only learned valuable skills but also had fun doing it. They truly "stitched" together a masterpiece! #wearesaintjamesschool
