Probably get her involved soon. 19 month old granddaughter loves sitting at my desk playing with feathers,chenille,,,everything but the jigheads.She calls them "owies".She has no fear of hooks,but maybe in a couple years she'll be tying,too.
The fly swap on FAOL said to post up if more interested and they would start another swap for the kiddo's. I know GF's daughter ties on occasion as well. I'm not sure if you are you guys are on FAOL or not tho. Like I said, I am helping out with holding materials and stuff, but she is having a good time so that's all that matters! Yeah... the whole "no fear" of hooks had me worried until she got pricked one time. You should see how she handles them now! LMAO!!!!! She learned like I did.
