Related: About this forumLooking for some hints for crafts for family member with a hand tremor
An adult who would love to learn to knit or crochet, but is not able to do so.
Mildly developmentally delayed, but that shouldn't be an impediment for a craft.
Any hints?
She is able to use the sewing machine, but aside from making throw pillows and place mats we haven't ventured further.
She does draw with colored pencils, but is a little bored with it.
Thanks in advance for any hints. I thought a bit about weaving but don't know what kind of projects would be simple aside from the ubiquitous pot holders.

Good idea, though. Thanks.

To this day we are still using some of them.
It’s really fun to roll up in shapes plus you can do patterns, depending on what colors you buy.

Search on Amazon for the kits. Here's one listing:
