A new company in Colorado makes delightful little kits to create your own stuffed toys, Heron Hill Stitch Co. My granddaughter loves these, cutting out the pieces and stitching her new felt friends all by herself. Pretty impressive for a five-year-old. It's all about the process and we don't worry too much about perfection in needlework at this time. She's having fun, while not staring at a screen.

Sam, the wide-awake strawberry.

These endeavors prompted me to unearth something from a storage trunk - Hootie, an owl I glued and stitched, using a kit, when I was about ten or eleven. Hootie has somehow survived through many house moves and life cycle events, a little faded, but still beloved.
