Aaaw- how cute! Just as long as they take a break and go outside and play.

Both my children learned to knit in their first grade classroom...small motor coordination and math made easy. Their projects were scarves in multi colored stripes. My son beamed that not only did he finish his scarf first, it was also the longest. BTW...he's a top notch athlete now, playing both Club soccer and engaged in competitive swimming. He also loves the arts and all sorts of handwork.
Boys in particular benefit from reptitive activities that engage their hands and will. Some of my childrens male classmates would have been labeled ADD in public school, where their abundant energy is never refocused.
