My little granddaughter Ava spent this past weekend with us so I let her help me in the kitchen while I was rolling out the dumpling for our chicken and dumpling dinner. She'll be 2 years old in December and for one so young, she has a very good attention span and didn't get bored with it at all. I can hardly wait to make Christmas cookies with her this year!! What a little doll!!
I also sat down with her and gave her a little sewing lesson. I just punched some holes in cardstock, got a big fat blunt needle, threaded it with yarn and showed her how to go in and out of the holes. She loved it and was surprisingly very precise about it.
I remember when I was little I used to have some sewing cards that outlined a picture and you would sew around the outline. I googled it and sure enough I found some cute Learn to Sew Classic Retro Lace up Cards on Amazon that will be under the Christmas tree this year.
