Homeschool Friendly | Ages 6+ | Term 4 | Week 7

A creative textile arts program inspired by traditional handcraft and Waldorf-style handwork. Each week, children will explore a new fibre or textile technique while creating something beautiful to use, wear or treasure.

Through felting, weaving, finger knitting, sewing and yarn work, children will develop practical skills, fine motor coordination, patience, creativity and problem-solving while learning the joy of slow, hands-on making.

Natural and tactile materials are used wherever possible, with plenty of opportunity for children to experiment and develop their own ideas.

Homeschool curriculum connections are provided each week, linking the projects and skills explored to relevant learning areas.

✨ What We’ll Be Creating – Week by Week

Week 7 – Needle-Felted & Wet-Felted Wishing Stones
Combining two different felting techniques, children will create colourful little wishing stones from wool. They’ll experiment with layers, colour and texture to make something small and meaningful.

Week 8 – Hand-Sewn Fidget Fish
Children will practise their hand-sewing skills while creating a little fish. They’ll stitch, stuff and decorate their creations, filling them with beads and stuffing to make a handmade fidget toy to take home.

Week 9 – Needle-Felted Christmas Ornaments
To finish the term, children will use needle felting to create their own festive Christmas ornaments. They’ll learn how to shape wool fibres and add their own creative details to make a decoration to treasure or gift.
