I also have some blank composition books I bought when school supplies were on sales, so they can make an easy book cover. I have some yarn and crochet hooks, so they might want to learn how to chain and I have an around and around potholder pattern they might want to make. I also found a tutorial on weaving a purse out of strips of old fabrics--girls never have too many purses. I will keep you posted and hopefully have pictures to upload of finished projects.
