Hi Heather,
My Grand Daughter's fourth grade teacher did finger knitting with the class
on days they had to stay in on recess. She also taught them to knit over a
pair of flip flops. Taylor made over a hundred dollars that summer making
flip flops with fuzzy yarn on them.

I think it is a good plan. Just make the scarves short and narrow.

considering this as a craft project for the kids - using all green yarn for
St. Patty's Day. They could all wear their scarves to the banquet. For the
first time ever, we got a sponsor for our child care. Michaels (the craft
store) is helping to pay some of the expenses associated with the kids and
having the kids to a nearby store to teach the craft project (with some
coaching from us). Has anyone done this with kids? I wonder if it's a
project that would take too long? I also wonder if we'll be able to talk
Michaels into donating enough yarn.
