SD Al Siddiq International held a flannel keychain-making activity on 27 October 2025. The activity was attended by all pupils from Year 1 to Year 6 and took place in their respective classrooms. For this activity, the keychain designs had been prepared in advance by the teachers, so pupils only needed to sew together the pre-cut flannel pieces. The children appeared enthusiastic as they followed the teachers’ instructions, threaded the needle, and stitched the simple patterns until they formed neat keychains ready to take home.
Although the designs were predetermined, the activity still offered many benefits for the pupils. Their fine motor skills were developed through the sewing process, which requires strong hand coordination and concentration. In addition, the activity helped nurture patience and attention to detail, as the children had to follow the stitching sequence correctly to achieve tidy results. The pupils’ confidence also grew as they successfully completed their own handmade flannel keychains. The sewing process further trained independence, focus, and the ability to follow instructions effectively. This simple yet meaningful activity provided an enjoyable hands-on learning experience for all pupils at SD Al Siddiq International.
