Sewing Cards Friends

Push the cotton lace through the first hole. Out the back, in the front, slow and careful. A bear hangs his bunting, a rabbit cycles past, all stitched into being.

Six thick cardboard cards, six animal scenes, one blunt plastic needle. The first taste of sewing, with no risk of pricked fingers.

A quiet table-top project for ages three and up. The finished cards stand on a shelf, proud and slightly wonky, exactly as they should be.
