Crafting as a Teaching Tool

February 10, 2007 by Christina

abc-home-school-lessonssm

I’m trying to organize my craft room and have recruited my daughter to help. We were winding embroidery floss onto cards last night when I realized that she was learning while helping me with my crafts. I had her sorting colors, she would first look at just the color and put all of the similar colors together. I then showed her that there were numbers on them and she then put all of the matching numbers together!

Want to teach your child Bible lessons? Here’s a great site to check out.

Find ways to maximize your craft time with your children. They don’t even realize they are learning something when they are having fun.

Cute Donut Monkey Crochet Kit

I mean… who wouldn’t fall in love with a monkey hugging a donut? This Cute Donut Monkey Crochet Kit from HiCrochet might just be the most adorable thing I’ve seen all week. It’s sweet, silly, and totally irresistible. Whether you’re new to amigurumi or just love a good weekend project that makes you smile, this kit has everything you need to bring this donut-loving little monkey to life. The design is playful and full of personality—and let’s be honest, that donut accessory is a whole mood. 

This kit would make the cutest gift—either made up or as a DIY surprise for a crafty friend. It’s beginner-friendly, super fun to stitch, and the final result is something you’ll want to show off on every shelf (or maybe sneak into your snack drawer for fun). If you’re looking for a lighthearted project with maximum “aww” factor, this little donut monkey definitely delivers. Let me know if you make one—I’d love to see how yours turns out!
