That's cute!!!
I got my granddaughters little stitching kits for Christmas. For the 5 year old, I got a simple "cross stitch" - it wasn't really cross stitch, because the stitches only went one way, but it gives her some practice with stitches and the color placement as well (it was a very colorful butterfly). For the 3 year old, I got a packet of little bear figures that have holes around the outside, and she just stitches along those holes with a plastic needle.
The 5 year old has always been interested in crafts. Ever since she was a tiny baby, I've showed her what I've made, and from the time that she could acknowledge them, she's been very interested in them. Her mom crochets and paints and draws, so she's surrounded by crafts.
