What would be a great beginner project for a 10 year old who would like to learn to sew?

The first thing my daughter made (7) was a doll quilt, she has made a few, and now wants to make a purse or tote bage. My eldest (12) first project was a baby blanket. I think starting something small is best, they need to have that sense of accomplishment, best way to do that is to have something small that can get done quickly. Pillowcases as already mentioned are fast and easy.

Donna,
It looks like a really fun project. It doesn't look to have binding. Did you just make it like a pillow case and turn it? She looks like she's pretty proud of it and obviously had fun doing it. Thanks for the idea

Did you put batting inside. If so was it sewn in the seam or do you work it in after turning and then tie it?
By the way we didn't have an iron that is why it is so puffy and not flat!! LOL

Pillowcases with interesting pieced borders. She can then make these for her BFFs for gifts. 10 year olds *might* be past the doll stage these days, sadly.
