All ideas are appreciated.

be sure to add a good seam ripper. I recomment Fons And Porter red and cream ripper. It's about $5 and the handle is easy to hold making ripping very easy.
AND BE SURE TO TELL KIDDO that needing to rip seams is NOT a crime. Making mistakes is part of sewing, we all do it, and we all need to feel comfortable about fixing it.
