I am glad that you have the interest and time to undertake this very worthwhile
mission. Good luck!
Young chidren have a very short attention span. To overcome this I have used
the following with them. When they start to get restless I would show them a
complete frame - either with foundation or drawn out. Then, with the children
in small groups, I would pass out new frame parts to each group. Then I would
ask each group to put the parts together the same way that I would in my shop.
For somewhat older children, as an extra challenge I would give each group one
extra piece to test them a little.
The children found this to be fun and usually turned the exercise into a race
to be the first to complete a frame.
