Yes, absolutely - take her ! (Just one more 'supporter'.) I began
my shell collection in 1950 at the age of 12 when my family
(from New York) spent a week on Cabbage Key in FL and while
there were taken on a boat to Cayo Costa. I picked up shells for
the lst time in my life there. When I got home, I arranged them
in a red and white Macy's box on cotton. One thing led to another and
as you can see, I'm now 'here'/ So,
with that said, seems like 12 is an ideal age to be exposed to a wonderful
interest and hobby.
I'll bet she'll have a great time. Let us know.
