I think your idea is wonderful - at about 7 or 8 years old most children will have the dexterity to be able to learn to knit, and you could even start them off with something really easy like spool knitting so they feel proud and encouraged when their first project is a success. It's definitely worth approaching the school and asking, and even if it doesn't work out during school hours, you could run an after-school class and promote it using the benefits you have mentioned above - I would sign my kids up for that - anybody else? Let us all know how you go! Thanks for your comment Jeanette.

For a number of years I have thought about approaching a local primary school to offer my time to teach knitting. I feel this could benefit the children who are not academically inclined. It would be fun, would help with dexterity, concentration and at a later stage reading skills and numeracy. What do you think? I found your blog very interesting.
