Looking for suggestions for sewing kit for 5-yr. old girl...
 
My daughter-in-law alerted me today to my granddaughter's budding interest in hand sewing. Well, this grandma immediately took up the challenge of putting a hand sewing kit together for Sarah (age 5). It seems Sara is enjoying just sewing pieces of fabric together. I immediately thought of a 9-patch. I've been sewing since, well, let's just say, since before Elvis was a heart-throb. What would you suggest I include in a "sewing basket"? I want it to be age-appropriate, but also something she can enjoy using and expanding going forward. Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks much!

Cut up maybe 3 in. blocks,needle, thread, and blunt scissors. Put into nice little sewing box.

Fun novelty fabric squares, good spool of all purpose thread and needles. Go for needles that are not too small but not super sharp.
