Extend the Fun
Younger kids: If your child isn’t ready to sew the whole bag himself, ask him to help you get started or to finish up. It might take more time than you’re used to, but when you can make this bag together, he’ll be especially proud to use it.
Older kids: Turn this bag into a guessing game: How many pieces of candy will fit in the bag? Ask your child to make a prediction. Talk about whether that number would change if the candies were all big or all small. Then have your child test her guess by filling the bag with candy or other similarly-sized items (like granola bars or small boxes of raisins).
