After she sews it most of the way (with yarn), you can stuff it, have her finish sewing it, and then she has a little stuffed whatever to play with.

I’m teaching a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old how to sew for real (pillows, change purses), but their 4-year-old sister was feeling left out, so we did this. Just used a plastic needle so she wouldn’t poke herself, tied the thread to the needle so she couldn’t keep pulling it off, and she didn’t feel left out.

The lacing cards looks very nice, and your post gave me go-ahead to another eeBoo for Toko. I hope to get good deal as well.=)
