It's a fact...
Kid's Love to Learn!!
From the moment they are born, children are constantly learning new things.
During the month of May let's make squares that will enhance 'our' children's learning journey.
One of the first things children love to learn is their colours.
Let's make some PJs in every colour imaginable.
What next you say?
Numbers
And stripes are great for developing their counting skills
or perhaps the alphabet is your thing?
Picture squares are great for promoting language skills and fuelling children's imagination.
Lastly, short, everyday words can assist in developing an understanding that putting certain letters together, creates words. ....then they are 'on the road' to reading. :))
Have fun Everyone.....
and as is our mantra for 2017...
Think Like A Kid!!!
May's PoM (pattern of the month) is PJs (Plain Janes as they are VERY affectionately known)
Here are the links for knit & crochet

FINALLY finished my number squares for May....on to June. :))
I am seconding that bravo for your persistence in stitching all those tiny appliques. Your placements are just amazing! And all your series of these squares are so delightful. I can only imagine how the owner will be sharing the learning squares with many other look! see! kiddies.
Thanks Deborah. :)) I can be quite 'thingy' about symmetry, so in 9& 10 I tried to 'mess it up' a bit. Was ok with 9, not so happy with 10, but by then I was over the sewing, so left it as it is. :))
They are all well worth waiting for Bev:))
Bravo for all that sewing on of appliques, it takes longer than making the squares!
Thanks Chris. :)) You are sooooo right. It was an experiment worth trying, I guess, but it sure took some time and my fingers were a little like pin cushions....lol.
Better late than never - finally finished alphabet blanket.
Sharon, this blanket is going to provide so much fun for a child. Hide and seek letters, finding their name letters, scrunching up so letters show on top... Even I would have fun with this one.
A beautiful blanket Sharon! Each square is perfect and the colours go so well together, a real treasure for a child:))
FANTASTIC blanket, Sharon!!! Great colours for boys (or girls) and a great learning tool, all wrapped up with love and warmth......a beauty. :)) Good on ya' !!
