Sewing for Kids

 


Sewing For Kids: 30 Fun Projects to Hand and Machine Sew


From last few days, kids have been playing with their old shirts. Painting on them. Cutting them in shapes. When they were arguing about something and throwing the scissors down, way too many times, I told them that we could make dresses for their dolls.
It involves sewing. I have always told kids to stay away from needles. Lunch ensued. Play time with friends and so on. Finally it came back to sewing.
I started showing the sewing to my older daughter and her friend. It was a plush dog. Once it got repaired, I thought that would be it. They went it and got few more toys that needed fixing. Meanwhile younger one needed to be involved too. We made a dress for her doll, taking turns in stitching. By then, the older ones got done and found more toys to fix. The younger one wanted to get a second turn too. Then we found another doll dress and modeled our second doll dress stitches based on it.
It was a fun day. After dinner, they wanted to sew again. It is funny how when kids enjoy something, they come up with reasons to continue the fun.

The Mountain

 


The Mountain by Rebecca Gugger


A bunch of different animals start talking about what they think the mountain is. every alternate page is so much fun, as you have to find the animal, blended into the environment. The illustrator's palette shines here. Eventually they all realise that each has a different view and set out to find the truth.
We took a chance to find out how mountains are formed from scischow kids.
What a beautiful way of showing kids, how same thing can be viewed as differently depending on where we are and how it seems to us.

Today we gave it a second read, after few months and picked on so many more details.

How to solve the rubik cube

 This has been such a fascinating journey.

When I told my friend about this recent solve the rubik project, she said that I was keeping my brain sharp. I can see how you can pick up a rubik cube and solve one piece and go back to what you were doing just like a huge jig saw puzzle which you know will involve many retreats and advances.

Each interaction with it, I am learning something new.

I have come to the third layer, making a plus. I know that from here, it is an algo again, which I can learn like Emily. But I want to solve it the math way, where you flip one edge of a done face and then do the reverse. So today I was working on flipping an edge but of an unmade face. When I tried that on a done face, it fell flat. But what I have learnt is how easy all the othe rthings have become, especially making the face and even in that, removing pieces that I dont need and also recognizing part done algos especially the fixing corners of a face. One more step away in figuring that elusive way of flipping that edge of a made face.

I asked a rubik cube owner for some tips and he suggested trying a face first. When I asked him if he knew of the flipping an edge piece method - he said that you just have to try it out.

This gets better and better. What mathematician Burkard Polster was trying to teach was a simple trick to design your own solution to rubik's cube. This is by decomposition of the complex problem into set of 4 moves of flipping edges and corners and moving edges and corners, which can then be translated to any kind of similar puzzle.

I now know how to flip edges. I am moving edges now. Yesterday after flipping an edge and realising that a twist is needed and found that two edges would be flipped. Now I understand the commutator the professor was referring to.

Moving edges is easy to understand through this move of the corner piece in between as going up.
