Quiz - Classic Children's Books & Authors

Quiz - Classic Children's Books and Authors picture of Peter Pan

Today's quiz is all about our childhood classic books - who are the authors of these books?

How many can your groups get right?

Quiz - Classic children's books and authors

I have given you both the book's name and the author but have muddled them up... so for you to pair them up!

In your groups of senior citizens, this quiz will stimulate much reminiscing about each book - encourage this discussion as it is good mental exercise!

Maybe memories of having the book read to them as children, or seeing the story played out in a musical or stage show - lots of good memories will surface...

Valentine Padded Felt Hearts - Tutorial and Printable Templates


Padded Valentine Hearts tutorial
 Sewing Valentine Padded Felt hearts on a cold Winter's afternoon, with a cup of tea and donuts to follow - our Mencap group really enjoyed this project!

What you will need...

One A4 size piece of felt - for the 2 large heart shapes

Smaller pieces of felt in contrasting colours for small hearts

Buttons

Embroidery thread and needle

Ribbon (30cms or longer if you wish)

Polyester fibre filling (toy stuffing)

Pinking shears (optional)

How to make it...

Print out your patterns  

3 x Heart Template Shapes

Cut out two large hearts 

Cut out one each of the smaller size hearts (per side **)

Place the button on top of the two smaller heart shapes and sew them 
together, leaving your thread hanging down underneath.

Place this in the centre of one of the large hearts and sew together, through the three hearts and the button.

If you want - do the same with the other large heart (you will then have small hearts and buttons on both sides of your finished padded heart **) 

Place the two large heart shapes together and starting at the bottom point, stitch them together - either using blanket stitch or a simple running stitch.

When you reach centre top of your heart, slip the ends of your folded ribbon in between the two large hearts and sew through them to attach the ribbon to the heart.

Continue sewing down the other side, stopping when you have about 4cms still open. 

Don't end off - leave your thread hanging.

Stuff your heart at this point and then continue sewing until you reach the bottom point again.

If you have used a running stitch (as in the purple sample), you can trim off the edges of your heart with pinking shears (optional) 

Here are some our group made... Hope you all enjoy this 
project!
