When children learn how to sew on a button, they have a skill that will serve them for a lifetime.
This activity is ideal for children who have had practice working with a needle and have mastered the running stitch. It allows children to practice more complex sewing tasks, such as measuring and cutting thread, threading a sharp needle, tying knots, and sewing buttons to fabric.

My four year-old grandson and I had our first sewing lesson this afternoon. He loved it. The needle threader in the kit is especially helpful, and it made it so he could thread the needle.
