Paper plate yarn heart

This paper plate yarn heart is a great activity to introduce your children to sewing (and threading). They learn to hold a plastic needle and while threading through the big holes on the plate they improve their fine motor skills.

I also think the plate is so cute and it would be a wonderful present for someone they love and adore.
