Resources for Teaching Kids to Crochet

my son trying to crochet
Kids are really intrigued by crocheting. My two year old is always trying to find a way to crochet with a hook larger than his size . There are so many reasons why kids will want to learn. Crocheting is fun, creative and it teaches kids patience. I started to crochet as a teenager and even stopped crocheting for several years and was able to get back into it quickly.  Crocheting is a great way to spend time with kids as they try to figure out the stitches and the patterns.  I met a lady on twitter whose 5 year old has picked up crocheting and it keeps the preschooler quite busy. So, if you know a kid who is interested in crocheting and you are trying to figure out where to start, the following resources are great resources and information that can help you "Teach one, Reach one" in Crocheting.
