I've seen shows on tv where people work with children quilting as young as 4. I think as long as she is well-supervised, it would be a great experience to share with her. It'll be something she'll always remember. I crocheted with my mom when I was about 7. I think you just have to be very patient and laugh with her a lot! My mom would tell me what I lacked in skill I made up for in enthusiasm. Those times are still treasured memories for me...50 years later. I taught my son needlepoint when he was in the first grade. He still laughs about how much fun we had together. My grandson likes to sit in my lap when I sew. He's only 2 1/2, so I just let him pick out fabrics and we sew them together. We have a "quilt" started of scraps he's picked out of my box. They are random, to say the least! But he thinks it's fun!
