This is exactly my thoughts, too.  We wouldn't expect kids to stay up to do
crafting classes and drop them in the middle of one of our classes with all
that goes on with chatting and visiting and running a class into the later
time.

So this is going to have some planning done to make it work for the younger
group and be a positive experience.

Those who took my Indian corn & pumpkin class knows I found that idea on a
pre school crafting project.

I do like the idea, but I think I would want a parent/teacher with the
student until we(KK teachers) get a sense if the youth can handle the
non-visual information given to them over the phone.  Some adult students
learning a new craft have gotten frustrated learning this way and I would
hate for a child to get frustrated and not able to go on.

Hi Maryann;
I think that this is a great idea. It would help to boost a childs self
esteem,and confidence. I'd like to help out with this Junior Crafters
Division.
What do you think Joyce and board?

I am a teacher of students who are blind and visually impaired and on groups
for parents to help answer questions.  Parents are starting to have
discussions about Christmas presents for blind children and one mom said she
taught her daughter to make pot holders on a loom.  That made me think this
might be a great way to expand our group.  We could begin a group for the
junior blind so they could learn crafting from a young age.  I have noticed
that many things my generation would not be caught dead doing are popular
with my children and their children.  I would certainly be happy to help get
the information out if this is something we would like to work on.  We could
set up a few special classes for kids.  I am thinking of kids 10 and older
but that is just a thought.
