We have started sewing buttons! I introduced it first at my sewing table. The mostly just threaded the buttons on the thread like a necklace rather then actually sewing the buttons down. Even after me demonstrating how to attach it down they kind of looked at me like, why would I do that? So I backed out and let them do it their way, after all it was more beautiful to have a string of buttons.
Then the next time I had buttons out with their own embroidery loop. This time they new just what to do. I hadn't intended in this being an "art" project that they take home - just something to do in the classroom - but they loved their buttons so much and were so proud of them that they just HAD to take them home. How could I deny them that. So off they went into their back packs. I am going to have to find some cheaper buttons!
