One summer my niece and nephew were staying with me. It was too cold to go to the beach so we started sewing. I made both of them a sewing box then we looked at quilt books to find what they wanted to make. With some help we got them so the pieces were big and they went thru my stash and found what they wanted. We would do a little each day. My nephew and niece were 11 and 4 and they stuck with it.
