Sew an educational preschooler book

With this book preschoolers will learn about matching colors and shapes, different types of textures, and how to tell time. This will also help with developing hand eye coronation and fine motor skills.

Supplies needed

1.     Fabric (I used mostly scraps from other projects)

2.    Paper and pen

3.    Scissors

4.    Iron

5.    Buttons

6.    Snaps

7.    Pellon (a stiff fabric interfacing)

8.    Sewing machine

9.    Fabric marker

First you need a template to create the right size and shape of the book I traced a book. Trace it 6 times to make the cover and pages. Cut the pieces and also cut 6 pieces of Pellon. Next iron the Pellon to the wrong side of the fabric pieces. Now you can start adding things to your pages.

Step 1: Cover page

For the cover page I used magnet letters as a template (or you can make paper letters). Trace the letters, cut them out and arrange them on your cover page. Sew them to the page with a decorative stitch.

This is great. It's cute, it's useful, and your write-up will be easy to follow for anyone else who wants to make these.

And because malaprops are fun: Hand-eye coronation: practice for those times when you just can't quite get the crown on.

This is super awesome! Your preschoolers must have loved all the tactile input! I might have to make some for my preschoolers!
