With the approach of the holidays, you might like to engage your 4, 5 or 6 year old in making some Christmas gifts.
If you look at the photo (yes, I'm trying to revive those drooping hydrangeas) you'll see my vase is standing on a green felt circle. This Helen made for me way back in her kindergarten days, and I've found it useful ever since. Now that it's old, I see I need to fix that stray thread, but otherwise, it's stood up to the years very well. The thing is to see if the child can master the simple overstitch that borders the felt.
