WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH TOYS THAT REFLECT THINGS THAT KNOW ? It is impotent for children to play with toys that reflect things they know because it helps them them feel seen,understood, and included, They would like and often use toys that are familiar and look like family, pretend to play with food from their culture, they play with toy tools that are used by adults ,language development, the variety of toys helps connect real life and experiences.

How does it feel to focus on a cultural skill (sewing) as a part of your classwork?

-For me, focusing on a cultural skill (sewing) as a part of my class work feels amazing, fun and relaxing. Because it’s what I grew up doing for most of my life, I enjoy it and it enjoy making projects for my family, friends and everyone around me. Sewing gives me a piece of mind knowing that they appreciate what I make for them and I love to see their reactions when the project is done.

I feel great and proud doing something good for the kids. As an educator, you feel that you had a purpose. When I see the kids looks amazed, it inspires me to better and have goals to focus on learning and share it with them.

It was hard to sew the polar bear but I got it done. Had to trace it cut it out and then sew it together i even had the supplies to sew it. It was nice opportunity to learn how to sew in a classroom learning how to sew cultural arctic animals and learn some traditional skills.

Q1: How does it feel to create using your own sewing skills?

I felt so proud and made me happy .Because the polar bear I made can give them comfort and joy. Every-time I see them playing the toy I made and looks happy, it inspires me to make more toys for them and at the same time it develop my sewing skills. And it reminds my inner child because I grew up in a family where sewing was one of our sources of livelihood.

It feels good, because I haven’t sewn anything in awhile. It so makes me feel good because it interests kids to sew their own stuffed toys to play with.
