As a homeschool mother of three, I have learned that my children all learn differently. So I tweak the lessons to fit their needs and strengths. Well, the same goes for life outside of school.
When my children were little, I found these beach towels with a whole in the middle to fit over their heads and a hood attached. As they grew I modified those towels to grow with them. Then one by one they each grew to big to even fit those. So I found a post on Pinterest of a tutorial for a hooded towel that they could also change inside of if needed. Those were also modified as they got bigger. Now they are so worn that I needed to make another one.
This time I decided to design it myself. Hmmm... I offered to put velcro on them to make them easier to use and dry. My son was not having it. So I made his first testing it the whole way. He does not like being a model. At 6'4" it took some creativity and trial and error to make his fit. But alas he seems pleased enough. I think he was actually just done with trying it on at each step; he would have taken anything at that point 😆
Then I made my daughters' and my towel. My oldest daughter did not want a hood. My youngest and I actually liked that design, so we each have one very similar to the each other's. Mine was the last to be made and the fastest one put together. I already had the design down by then. But I really liked having something covering my arms, so I opted for an additional shall/hood. It's its own piece, so I can wear it by itself, with the wrap or not at all. Actually, I brought it with me to soccer practice in case I needed just a little wind covering 😀 I think it will come in quite handy.
Find what works and make it yours or your children's ❤️
