Plastic canvas is like cross-stich embroidery but easier because it's done on plastic. See Wikipedia for more. 

The kids can get started in making doll figures, treasure boxes, or other decorative objects that might be given as Christmas gifts. They will probably have to finish them at home, but they can return to Melissa for help if needed. All materials will be provided.
