In addition to working on her mittens, Hannah has been working hard the past couple of weeks knitting a scarf for her friend on her Knifty Knitter. Isn't it lovely?

Freedom Academy's Handicrafts Page. Check out our homeschool blog at www.thecookfamilyzoo.blogspot.com "The Handicrafts best fitted for children under nine seem to me to be chair-caning, carton-work, basket-work, Smyrna rugs, Japanese curtains, carving in cork, samplers on coarse canvas showing a variety of stitches, easy needlework, knitting (big needles and wool), etc." ~Charlotte Mason Volume 1 Page 315

I love these ideas. I have to admit this is one area that I am clueless about.... I myself am finally trying to learn how to do anything "handy" or feminine lol. My girls are 3 and 2. Do you remember what types of things you started with, around this age?
You should come up with a simple little online curriculum for this stuff (yeah, as if you have so much time on your hands right?) You seem to have a gift in making it seem doable and not so scary. I'd consider purchasing it :-)
Thanks for the inspiration... not that I feel confident enough to do any of it yet, but it was inspirational!
Blessings
