"Countersigned with both hands" as we used to say in Poland:) I couldn't agree more; on top of all the learning problems they might encounter, lousy equipment is not something they need.

For small but interesting teaching patterns (in addition to Bev's pillowless-plait), I highly recommend Paula Harten's series of patterns for teaching children (she's just added two more -- very exciting -- ones to the ones previously published in the IOLI Bulletin). Each is simple, each is quick, and each can be taken home as a finished project.
