Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I have a group of students interested in starting a lunchtime crochet club. They would like to learn to make these cute plushies by crocheting.

Woobles are the perfect way to learn how to crochet.

The directions in each beginner kit include step-by-step tutorial videos and a printable version of the pattern. The book which will be added to our media center, contains patterns and directions to make many more projects. Hence the need for additional yarn, stuffing, and safety eyes. Plus, by working on these together the students will also be able to support one another on their project while learning a new skill.
