Media Education for Kindergarten and Hort
Relief in everyday life, targeted promotion of individual children, independent learning and - without any pre-knowledge already usable by the youngest!
First, wash and dry the two halves of an eggshell.
After that, you put the eggshells together, so the eggshells are more stable.
Now choose a piece of felt in any color.
Tip: Alternatively, simply use a felt dishcloth.
Then you have a big hand full of cotton wool.
Now you paint a circle on the felt. For this you use, for example, a round small bowl.
A ballpoint pen is best suited for painting.
Then cut out the circle with the scissors.
Now you need a thread and a pointed needle.
Now thread a thread about 40 cm long into the needle and place it twice. Then tie the ends together.
Now you paint a sewing line on the circle. This line runs about half a centimetre from the edge and goes round.
Now start sewing in one place. For this, insert the needle on the sewing line and let the thread hang about 10 cm long.
In approximately 1 cm large stitches you sew around with about 1 cm distance.
If you are trained, you can also pick up several stitches at once.
The thread is now evenly sewn all around.
Now you grab the initial and final thread with one hand and carefully pull the thread together.
Now pull the thread together until a small bag is created.
Then fill the floss in the bag.
Stop the cotton wool firmly with one finger and squeeze it together.
As soon as the bag is stable and well filled, enough cotton wool is filled. Then you pull the threads together completely.
To close the bag, you now knot the two threads together.
Let us help you with this, because it's better for two of you!
Then cut off the threads after the knot.
Now carefully put the filled felt bag into the egg shells. Make sure that the open side points downwards.
That's what your pincushion looks like now.
Now you put in many colorful pins. Use pins with big heads as much as possible.
Your pincushion is ready now.
For example, you can place it on an egg cup. On the egg cup there are also other sewing utensils.
Or you put the Easter egg needle cushion in a small sewing basket. You can find it in a separate offer.
The pin cushion is also suitable as a gift for sewing enthusiasts at Easter.
Stay creative! Enjoy trying!

Absolutely awesome! Our 8-year-old son implemented it completely independently after the instruction.
Great! We are happy and thank you for the feedback!
