You can always have them do dot to dot or some mazes - good for hand eye mumbo jumbo too.
Miriam that is great that your DH required your boys to learn to sew! He must be quite a man! I wish more guys would take up sewing so at least someone in the family could sew if they had to! My Dad knew how to sew, and so does my DH! DH learned with the grandkids out of necessity - I couldn't be with 7 boys all at once - and they jam machines a lot or break threads or something! It keeps you hopping for sure!
I love the red machine. I have decided if I don't find a red one, I will find a really crappy looking FW and have it painted red!
