    just take it slow and easy. Don't rush each step and do small sections at the time.
    I tend to think we mess up when we get anxious and go too fast and try to accomplish too much.

    Good luck. You can also lay your blocks out on a flannel backed vinly table cloth and roll it up. I find the vinyl backing doesn't stick to anything when you put the roll away. The blocks stay in place so it can be a "work in process" without losing your spot.

    I made a crayon throw for Grandpa and it certainly has many flaws but everyone loved making it. The grands were about 3, 4 and 5 years old.
