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:
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.
