I made one for my girls when they were about that age. It included threads, needles, Plastic needles, metallic skeins of threads for plastic canvas making, and plastic canvases. A thimble, a number of charm squares and bees wax. I also included some buttons and scissors. I put in a tape measure and some embroidery threads. I discovered this was a bit more that she needed to get started with. The plastic canvas things were fun to help her learn to make uniform stitches. She liked to do those to start with then started stitching by hand her charm squares. She did not find an interest in the embroidery items. It got her started in her sewing. She still doesn't do a lot of sewing but can handle a sewing machine that my Aunt Mary left to her. And she can also sew on buttons.
