This is a felt bird made by Max for a friend's birthday. I suggested he might make something himself for a present, and he was very enthusiastic about it! Yay! He chose the pattern (from Felt Craft) and did almost all of the stitching.
They've been sewing quite a bit in his kindergarten class. At first it was just running stitch into pre-made holes, then without the holes, now recently they've moved to blanket stitch.
now that's my kind of kindergarten!

So exciting to see that he is doing so well as a kindergardener! Gives me renewed hope to try again with mine... And even better that you are training them to delight in giving handmade and thoughtful gifts. What a treat for the birthday person!

Oh, that is quite wonderful! Hurray for Max! And a note to Mommy: Seriously, continue to suggest that he take some responsibility for gifts for his friends and family. I am sadder and wiser these days than I used to be when I would take care of all of my children's gift-giving needs for them.
