  For the 1st grade sampler 
and 2nd grade pillow, draw the "X's" first with marker. 
  Teach them how to thread
the  needle and 
  then put a knot at the end
 of the yarn. 
  Have them start from the
back  and end on the back. 
   Have them do one side
 of the "x" first with one color. 
  Then have them do the other 
 side with a second color.
