Basic Hide Tanning Kit (SOFT HIDE, not stiff)

Need a recommendation.
Looking for a basic hide tanning kit for my 11 yr old son who wants to tan some squirrel hides. We want a soft, pliable hide when all is done.
The way I always preserved hides when I was a kid ended up with stiff hides. Want to learn about making soft hides.
What say the OB?

i may be wrong, but I think you get a soft hide by working the leather over a tool after it is tanned.
Eta: you have to break the fibers in both directions.

I'd like to know myself. Tried a couple if times as a kid with rabbit hides. Stiff as a board.
