As Elle's birthday was approaching, I asked Hannah what we should do for her fieind's birthday present. Part of home schooling is doing handicrafts... hands on skills that she can use as she grows up... much more than just gluing and painting crafts. For Alyssa's birthday Hannah made a tote bag for her dance class attire. But for Elle, she thought that a blanket would be fun. She picked out the materials, decided on a pattern after measuring out the material. Once she figured out the number of squares needed, she helped pin and sew it all together. There were aspects of this project she lost interest in, but she was able to do enough that she was willing to make a second blanket for another friend.
