Welcome to Washcloth Crafts!
TerryGami is the softer side of origami!
Add washcloth crafts to the mix when teaching fables, nursery rhymes, and children's book. For example, the Tortoise and the Hare, or Little Miss Muffet can be further integrated into a child's imagination by making a washcloth tortoise and hare, or a toad stool for Miss Muffet to sit. Bring favorite children's books alive by making a monkey, or a fairy tale by making the three bears. Even Goldilocks or Miss Muffet can be created by using the girl gnome instructions; just change the hair color or the hat. The pedestal is not necessary, of course, to make a doll whether it is a gnome or not. Don't forget the duckling as a character!
Fun can be had making critters to match favorite films, too. With a little imagination, pirate dress up or costumes can be enhanced with a parrot on the shoulder. One child I know put a face on a washcloth mushroom. Favorite aliens can be made by using a beige color cloth and the new TerryGami Dracula instructions, which about to be released.
Ideas abound to adapt washcloth crafts as a teaching tool. Children learn to measure, shape, glue and sew, which are just some of the skills they learn. Factoids accompany every critter in the books to help make a fun project informative.
Happy Crafting!
