Smallest State – Rhode Island is the smallest U.S. state, covering only 1,214 square miles, but it has over 400 miles of coastline!
Not Actually an Island – Despite its name, Rhode Island is mostly on the mainland. The full name, "State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations," refers to both the mainland and several islands.
First to Declare Independence – Rhode Island was the first colony to renounce British rule on May 4, 1776—two months before the Declaration of Independence!

Birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution – The first successful water-powered cotton mill in the U.S., Slater Mill, was built in Pawtucket in 1793.
Coffee Milk = Official State Drink – Rhode Island’s state drink is coffee milk, made by mixing coffee syrup with milk. It’s like chocolate milk but with coffee flavor!
Newport Mansions – Rhode Island’s Newport mansions, once summer homes for the ultra-rich like the Vanderbilts, are some of the most extravagant homes in America.
Invented Frozen Lemonade – The first frozen lemonade stand was opened in Rhode Island by Del’s Lemonade in the 1940s.
Biggest Little State in the Union – Despite its small size, Rhode Island is packed with history, culture, and beautiful beaches, giving it the nickname "The Biggest Little State in the Union."

I loved the kit I got! My mom ordered me the fox and mushroom one and then I ordered the same one for my friend so we could do it together. We really liked learning to sew, and now I actually feel like I could sew a hole in my clothes or a button back on now, cool! I TOTALLY RECOMMEND! - Jasmine, age 11
This pattern was super easy to follow and it turned out great. I haven’t done any hand sewing in a long time and this was a super fun way to get back into it!
I enjoyed this kit a lot! The only thing i struggled with was not being able to pin down the pattern but then I realized they sell a toolkit that has the extra pins and gadgets, so I’ll definitely be getting that for my next kit!
