Description

Emotion Critters will be created out of fabric and other materials using simple stitches and other sewing and crafting techniques to reflect the chosen emotion.

Vocabulary about emotions, texture, and color will be talked about. This information will be used to select a piece of fabric with a texture and/or color that represents a particular emotion. A bumpy fabric could represent uncertainty, while a shiny fabric could represent ambition. Different colors can also represent different emotions. For example, a fabric representing joy might be made of bright colors. A fabric showing mad might have a red or smoky print.

Sewing, glueing, and tying fabric will all be methods explored in this class.

In addition, a name plate with the emotion-name can be created.

This class is intended for a parent/adult caregiver and child pair. One additional child can be added to accompany the adult and child if desired. Everyone is welcome to create their own Emotion Critter or work together collaboratively as desired.
