My children are used to recycling because they know which “bins” each products go to (or go for washing up) so I thought we’d concentrate on reusing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I decided to use some old rags<\/strong> and make a letter R Rabbit<\/strong>. Although we thought it looked more like a Raccoon<\/strong> and their dad thought it was a rat<\/strong> !!<\/p>\n

I also wanted to do something that wasn’t painting and\/or glueing. I’m not very good at sewing so thought if I could introduce \u00a0some basics now it would give them a better chance of learning themselves.<\/p>\n

We took an old vest and drew a letter R on some paper.<\/p>\n

\"pinned\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We then pinned them together so it didn’t move whilst we cut them out.<\/p>\n

I explained to him about what things were – needle, eyes of needle, pin cushion, thimble, cotton, threading.<\/p>\n

\"threading\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also used some old buttons for eyes. I always remember my mom had a whole box of buttons – she used to take \u00a0them off clothes when they were turned into rags for dusters etc. I used to play with them, count them, put them into groups, do maths with them etc, etc.<\/p>\n

And then we drew on some whiskers.<\/p>\n
