Corduroy visits Corduroy

The highlight of the week was the long awaited visit of the class Corduroy!   Each child has a night to bring home Corduroy and play with him.   Then the evening has a journal entry and illustration in the class Corduroy book.   
Sabrina was given a Corduroy of her own when she was very young and we have read the first book at bedtime for years.  So needless to say, she was excited to have the two meet.   
Being that it was a super cold day, the three of them sat by the fire with cocoa warming up.   Then Sabrina's big project was to sew a quilt for the two friends.   Although she did not do the cutting, she did iron the fabric carefully and sat at the machine and steered the fabric.   The scraps of fabric were left over pieces from a quilt that is being made for her using old receiving blankets for the backing.  The project was a great skill booster.   The two Corduroys enjoyed sitting underneath it catching up on what bears do.
