I have found that kids love to play with kids more than anything.
The next highest love is 'doing'.
Whether that be digging, baking or making - they're drawn to it.
During the school holidays we did a lot of craft.
With lots of little local friends.
My favourite part was teaching some of the kids to finger knit and hand-sew, who had never done it before. Of course they got the hang of both in minutes.
Kids do.

Dear Aleta, you are giving me more courage each day for me to let my kiddos needle-felt. Lovely blog! I enjoyed this article. Have a beautiful week! Jzin in California.

ReplyDeleteThe creativity and the sense of color they are showing they will go too far. The color combination is so pleasant...
