I was organizing our art closet and I came across a pile of curve stitching templates I printed out for my Arts Focus class, we did the project once but never again. I thought I would get one more use out of them, so I subjected my art playgroup kids to it. \ud83d\ude42 They got pretty into it, although the patience level varied by age.<\/p>\n

The moms had quite a good time too.<\/p>\n

For actual instructions and the templates we used see Don’t Eat the Paste: Curve Stitching Templates<\/a>. She has a nice description of the process and a bit of the history. Mary Boole created curve stitching to help teach mathematics, which led me to her entirely inadequate Wikipedia article (I bet if she had been a man it would have been longer!) which led me to her book, The Preparation of the Child for Science<\/a> which I’m going to have to add to my summer reading list.<\/p>\n

We also used this book, Curve Stitching: Art of Sewing Beautiful Mathematical Patterns
\nby Jon Millington<\/a>, which is interesting, but it looks like it is about twice as expensive now as when I bought it a year and a half ago (for $16.50.)<\/p>\n

Did you ever do anything like curve stitching when you were in elementary school? I know I did, but I can’t quite remember when. I do remember doing lots of doodling based on curve stitching when I was younger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
