Connor's Shop

One day Connor wanted to sew a star. So Mommy got him some felt and printed a star pattern from the Internet and helped him cut it out.

Mommy gave Connor a "real" needle, not a plastic one like he used in preschool, that was threaded with thread.

Connor pulled the needle in and out very carefully so that he didn't poke his chubby little fingers.

When he got almost all the way around the star, he stuffed it with stuffing, then he finished sewing it the rest of the way.

When he was finished, he said, "I should sell these!"

Connor then opened up a shop in his bedroom. He cut a window out of a big piece of cardboard and tucked the top of the cardboard underneath the mattress of the top bunk bed.

He made signs on the computer and hung them on every door in his house.

Mommy helped Connor make lots of little pillows for his shop and he sold them all to family and friends and made a lot of money.

Now he wants to buy a Nintendo DSi. But he'll have to sell a few more things first.
