Practical Skill: A Piggy Bank to Sew

What's more educational than sewing and saving, I ask?   Why, we're talking handiwork and economics!  Concentration and math. 

Patience and patience.

Sewing a piggy bank sounds like a fun weekend project, I think.  Thanks to Nosey Nest, we can sew one, too, without figuring it out for ourselves.  Full directions are located here, with plenty of photos to guide the way.

On Fridays I'll post freebies for practical skills. Things the family can do together.  Non-academic-y things to teach the children...

...because, as all of we adults know full well, math and grammar aren't the only things a kid needs to learn.

Have a wonderful weekend (perhaps joined by the piggy)!

p.s. I got 2 packages in the mail today, with 4 future freebies for giveaways.  Great stuff, and I can't wait to review it to see if it's any good and then share it with you!  Soon.  Very soon.
