They are all developing into independent young people with a broad skill base and I hope, an understanding that men and women are both equal in all aspects of life.
My youngest two boys have just turned 3 and have seen me sewing and creating for the whole of their lives.
I haven't wanted to push them to try their hand at a creative art, but when they do show an interest I love to share with them.
This is my son Zakk with a felt hand puppet that he made by sewing with wool, around the edge of a felt shape that had been pre-punched with holes for the stitches.
He was so pleased with his handiwork and took it into pre-school to show the other children what he had made.
His twin brother Maxx wasn't interested in sewing a hand puppet until Easter, when Grandma gave them some Easter themed hand puppet kits. These kits sparked his interest and he had a go too.
I love that they feel so proud of what they have made!
