It introduces key vocabulary such as fabric, stuffing, template, blanket-stitch, and appendage, helping the pupils learn how different materials and techniques are used to create soft toys. They will explore various stitching techniques, including cross-stitch, running-stitch, and appliqué, and understand how these methods contribute to the structure and durability of their designs. It is perfect for consolidating essential knowledge and fostering creativity by allowing the pupils to plan, design, and sew their own stuffed toys.
