Thanks for all the suggestions. We just spent 45 minutes of him sewing on felt pieces with a fairly dull needlw with a large hole. He was able to thread the needle and also follow along a drawn line with a running stitch. He was so proud of himself. He can't wait to show mommy what he did at grandma's. I have him for the whole day every other thursday. This will stop when he goes to Kindergarden next fall, but he loves going to all his grandmas. He has three.
