Letter Sewing Cards

These sewing cards are great for children learning how to write. They build fine motor skills, teach or review how the letter is made and teaching beginning sewing skills. Take a piece of cardboard or cardstock. We used cardstock, but it does bend some. Draw a letter, number or shape (whatever your child is working on) with a thick dark marker. Punch or poke holes at regular intervals around what you have drawn. Have your child use a plastic canvas needle or other large blunt needle to sew yarn around the letter, following the holes you have made.
