Somehow I missed the original post, but caught Butterfly in the middle
Look for "Shoebox Craft Collections" they are little plastic totes full of assorted craft stuffs and come with a little instructional booklet with an assortment of ideas. Wikki Stix, bendable stick togetherable non-messy brightly colored sticks that you can play with for hours. several sheets of poster board, and an assortment of "stuff" (buttons, beads, pom poms, confetti, mylar bits, crayons etc) and a big bottle of washable glue. A drawing pad, pencils, eraser and a pencil sharpener There are any number of good books out, that she could read and do from if you included some of the recomended materials. Either Bemiss-Jason or Nicchi puts out a book on kirigami (folding and cutting paper, like paperdoll chains and snowflakes) that comes with paper. Origami is a natural too.

Tanagram set...... lots of different designs to make, and there are magnetic
ones available. Check out teaching / home school supply places, they have lots of fun and educational stuff, as well as art supplies. Klutz books, different project type books with starter supplies. There is one for embroidery floss bracelets, one on "kootie catchers" and lots more. Check the Kids Craft section at Jo-Ann's, they have some great project kits.

Actually, it is almost all rectangle sewing. It was really super easy.
If you are interested I can e-mail or post the information on the pattern I used. Dr. Quilter wrote: love the fabrics! I wish I could make non-flat/rectangular items as well! Queen of Squishies wrote: Wow! What a wonderful gift. Karen, Queen of Squishies |
