Aw thank you!
So a couple months ago, my 5 year old granddaughter (who lives in Oregon and I live in Indiana) convinced my daughter to buy her a Disney Princess amigurumi crochet kit. And then they FaceTimed me to show me, and ask me if I would teach her to crochet. I had my doubts, but I said I could try the next time I visited. So she said “Okay how about next week?”
Haha, no, can’t just come over that quick! But we had been thinking of taking a trip out there for her brother’s birthday in mid April, so that’s what we decided to do.
I think 5 is too young to learn to crochet. She got how to hold the hook and the yarn. But then she couldn’t get her mind to grasp yarning over and pulling up a loop. She couldn’t really make her fingers do it. So she asked me to just crochet them myself and she would watch. I will say, she had a great attention span and she (mostly) watched me for over an hour. She was waiting to do the stuffing.
Our visit was a week long, and I was able to finish two princesses, Aurora (which is my granddaughter’s name) and Moana.
I brought the rest of the kit home and told her I would (eventually someday) make the other ones for her. (It only has yarn to make two dolls but the booklet has instructions to make 20. I’m pretty sure I have all the colors I will need!
