I work in a primary school and would like to start a needlework class for 8-11 year olds an hour a week. I have limited experience (mainly my own from school) where do i start. I need it to be a 10 week course.
Start with Binca (6ct) or you could go to 11ct Aida for older children but wouldn't advise anything else and Soft Cotton or Perle Cotton No 5.
Design an outline pattern rather like the outline of Blackwork say a flower or a simple shape like a heart.

I'm not a teacher by profession, but if I were going to show some young people how to do needle work, I would find an easy cross stitch pattern with no more then 3-4 colors. Use 11 count Aida. Have a way for them to frame their work. Small embroidery hoops are inexpensive and make nice frames. Use a peice of felt to cover the back of their work. Good luck, and bless you.
