SuitabookFriendship bracelets 101
Suzanne McNeill
- Reading
- Gather embroidery floss and work through one simple-looking pattern together before moving on. Use the photographs closely, pause after each knot, and treat mistakes as opportunities to try a different design.
- Themes
- Friendship as making and sharing: Bracelet-making is presented as a way to create a unique gift and exchange it with friends, including peers in school, church, clubs or teams. The activity treats making and sharing as positive ways to express friendship, although the book’s wider view of relationships is not established.
- Cultural origin and wishing legend: The book addresses cultural origin and wishing legend; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. These elements are presented as cultural background and legend, but the tone and depth of their treatment cannot be determined.
- Worth knowing
- Start together and adjust support as needed.
