Books in My First Book series series

The My First Quilt Book kit includes the book, five quilt plans, and a cardboard Four Patch template. This final book in the My First Sewing Book series is ideal for children who are old enough to sew on a machine and have had some machine experience. Building on the lessons of My First Machine Patchwork Book, young seamsters learn about quilt making. After picking a quilt plan, children learn how to color in their designs and how to shop for fabric at a store. This guide covers using a template, cutting and sewing patches together, assembling the parts, adding batting, and using ties or quilt stitches to create a child-sized 9-block quilt. This book is also ideal for adults who want to learn the very basics of quilting. Winky Cherry's unique My First Sewing Book program teaches young children not only sewing skills, but life skills: responsibility, commitment, focus, patience, coordination, organization, and how to follow rules, all through the enjoyment of sewing. In six books, levels progress from simple hand sewing, embroidery, and doll making, to machine sewing, patchwork, and quilting. The three hand sewing books feature clever rhyming instructions for children as young as 5. The three machine sewing books are for children ages 7 and older. All six titles have simple, clearly-illustrated instructions. Each book builds on the previous books, and each book can stand alone.

Monologues just for kids!Everyday life was never so nutty! Inside My First Monologue Book you'll find 100 imaginative "what if" pieces for would-be princesses, cowboys, robots, and superheroes as well as real-life issues like unfair bedtimes, making new friends, and the horrible taste of broccoli. At this stage in life there are lots of firsts, too, like going to a new school and losing your teeth, so there are plenty of topics for children to connect with. Divided into sections by theme and sprinkled with illustrations, the material in this book is easily incorporated into existing reading curriculum. Often, young children are given work written for older students that is difficult for them to understand and retain. While not dumbed-down, this material is comprehensible, relatable, and fun.ABOUT THE SERIESMy First Acting Series introduces children, ages 5 to 9, to the basic elements of acting, directing, and producing a live theatrical performance and, in so doing, teaches kids how to think critically, solve problems, and work cooperatively with their peers.This groundbreaking new series is for truly beginning actors, designed to incorporate theater and its benefits into children's lives at a young age by giving teachers and parents an accessible and applicable series with which to supplement their children's reading or social studies curriculum in a fun and interactive way.Each book builds on the one before it, so skills grow as students grow.
