I have some patterns that I worked on with my daughter at that age. They are pillows that have heart, house, flower, etc. I don't remember what the technique is called but you draw the design on tissue paper then layer 3 pieces of fabric. You will then pin the paper to the top of the fabric and triple stitch on the lines. The pattern tells you in what areas to cut through the paper and one layer of fabric and in what areas to cut throught the paper and two layers of fabric. My daughter was amazed that she made something so cool looking.
If you interested in the information PM me and I will look up the patterns. I may even have an extra one.
