I made them up myself (and posted all four of them :lol: )

I do remember those cards also and will try to find them for him. I think he should learn how to handsew first and if in two three years time he is still interested, I am the first one to buy him a child machine.
I gave him beads and pearls to sew on and he did it with an incredible accuracy going into the same stitch he came out to get the beads.
I am sure we will have a beautiful quilt for his mami soon :lol:

He is so darn cute, would love to see what he would make if you gave him a machine to use!

What's with those dads, huh?

Those cards are primarily used in pre-K and kindergarten, but I used them with my first graders who needed more practice with eye-hand coordination. Your little guy will have fun with them as well as develop more skill.

And -- I must have forgotten your posting of the covers (or I just missed that one altogether. I will go back and do a search. Thanks.

Glad DSIL thinks different and DGS doesnt know anything about girlish or boyis yet. :lol:
When DD was pregnant with the second baby the first thing I did was getting DGS a Doll with a stroller. He loved it and still does as you can see on my avatar.

I remember him walking it out of the store and across the pedestrian zone in Basle, parting folks like once Moses the sea. Everybody was smiling at him and he had a great time. He also saw those two boys at the age of 6 -7 laughing about being so girlish and he did not get it. Instead he gave a big smile back and told them that this was his brand new baby, very pleased that they "admired" it too. That sure made them fall silent :lol

What a cutie! My 4 yr. old DGS loves everything about my quilting projects too. He wants to touch all the fabric, and earlier this year he was my speed controller while I was doing a long straight seam.

He is so cute. God bless.
