Though I’ve probably done more crafts and activities with Squeaker, I’ve wanted to try more crafts with Sweet B. She does projects at school that seem simple enough to expand on at home. I’ve also thought of going with an easier route and buying kits to do projects with her instead. This seems to be easier, on both her and me, so when I had the opportunity to try out two products from Cool Brands, I was pretty excited.
One of the main reasons that I want to do more crafts and projects with her, aside from spending time together, is to work on her fine motor skills. I think that arts and crafts are of great benefit for any child, but especially for someone like her who could use the extra work.
I do enjoy knitting and I can remember making many a hand-knitting project as a child. I finally completed my first real knitting project before Squeaker’s arrival but haven’t done much since. So when I found out that we had the opportunity to try the Knit’s Cool set, I was pretty excited. In fact, I think I was more excited about this than Sweet B.

I loved how easy this was to set up!
We started with the scarf and I got it set up for her and showed her what to do. Admittedly, she did get a little frustrated with the process, but we’re still working on it every day after she gets home from school as a part of her afterschooling.
We also had the opportunity to try out the Text Cool studio.

Sweet B was definitely more apprehensive about this and I had to do a lot of the set up for her. But, we did end up making a pretty cool bracelet for her to wear to school and out in the public promoting autism acceptance 🙂
Overall, our experience with the Cool Brands products were fun. They helped Sweet B with her fine motor skills and gave me a new element to add into her afterschooling routine.
