I've been home schooling since 1982. By the time my youngest was done my older ones were sending me DGKs. So I get to do fun things now days homeschooling the DGKs. I was thinking about having the little ones make some hand warmers. They would make some cool gifts. If you have older kids and wanted to teach them production sewing something like that would be an easy and fun project. The hand warmers could have applique or they could be quilted. They could be sewn in shapes or just be very simple first time projects - imagination... project for all skill levels.
