Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop training materials which were to be effective for training pupils' skills. The material to be studied was a cloth to train sewing skills which are used in elementary schools, based on a homemaking guidebook for objectives and teaching methodology. We devised a cushion-cover with a cat face, considering the following six items for materials which made: 1. The educational objectives clear. 2. Both long-term an short-term objectives clear. 3. Useful and attractive for pupils. 4. Knowledge and skills at a higher level than that of the pupils' present ability. 5. Familiar to pupils and which made them feel confident. 6. Giving pupils a sense of achievement in their work.
