Show Me How: Knitting and Show Me How: Quilting present how-to instructions for kids in a unique format that encourages interaction between kids and adults. Each two-part box set introduces the fun of crafts with a story for ages 8-12. Younger children will love having each story read to them; older kids will enjoy it on their own.
In the charming knitting tale Mary Ruth and her brother Jacob visit their grandma. When a thunderstorm causes a blackout they are left without TV or video games. Their grandma (pretty hip for an older chick) comes to the rescue with…knitting! After some initial skepticism, especially on Jacob’s part, both kids learn to knit and love it. The Quilting story revolves around Mary Ruth's sick classmate who is comforted by the quilt her classmates create. Volume two of each set details the how-to basics written from Mary Ruth’s point-of–view. No fancy talk or long sentences. Just simple-speak like “Poke the needle in the back.” Easy projects suitable for girls or boys complete a compact introduction to these popular hobbies. Even adults who don’t knit or quilt will be tempted to learn along with the kids when following the easy instructions. Then the whole family will be able to enjoy these crafts solo for a long, long time.
