I've always let DD and DS decide whether or not to participate in crafts and such. I figure that they will come to it on their own when they are ready. DS has absolutely NO interest in crafts of any kind. Of course, he is 23, in ROTC and college and his real interest is in video games that shoot!! LOL DD has always been more on the artistic side. She draws, plays music and now wants to sew. Funny how siblings can be soooo different.
