my sister and I had a day of sewing with 9 and 10 yr olds girl scouts. we had them sew lap blankets for the nursing home nearby. then had them take it to the residents. it went over very big and wanted more. The reward for the girls was their badge for community service and the opportunity to help those that did not have much. the residents really enjoyed the girls and the blankets. we plan on doing it again soon... and the girls loved learning how to sew and want to make more.
