We found blunt scissors, plastic sewing needles, and plastic crochet hooks, but can't find the knitting needles. The plan is to supply easy patterns to make hats for preemies and donate them to the hospital.
What a fabulous idea! You might even have them make 6" blocks of knitting or crocheting to then be joined into an afghan. Kudos!
