Abraham Lincoln: Stitchable Changemaker DIY kit

Complete these stitchable dot-to-dot cards as a group or on your own. As the face of your chosen change-maker is revealed, reflect on the values threaded through them and their lives. This mindful stitching also creates a space to connect to your own values that thread through your own daily thoughts, actions and choices.

Connect the dots with needle and thread to reveal a portrait of an inspiring change maker. A quote is also included from each of them to reflect on whilst stitching. On the back there is also some information about their background.
