Crafts for Kids – all sewn up

Crafts for kids come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but one particular craft seems to be making a big comeback – sewing and needlework. A fun activity, sewing provides children with a creative outlet, and is suitable for even the little ones. With the right craft kit, a pattern to follow and some patience, your kids will be able to create their own masterpiece, and it is a great opportunity to spend some quality time together. Far more advanced than the Sewing kits we had as children, the models available online today are modern and colourful, such as those in the Djeco collection. These lovely ‘Lace-Up’ cards are suitable for children as young as 3 years old, and come complete with all the items you need to make three beautiful pictures. The picture cards are pre-punched with holes, which your children then sew using the bright and colourful wool and a large round ended needle. A great tool for building concentration and coordination skills this is the perfect educational craft for kids. Slightly more challenging but still suitable for children as young as 4 years old, this ‘Paper Sewing kit’ from the Djeco collection contains all you need to stitch together three beautiful paper birds. The tear-proof paper is perfect for younger children, and the kit includes wool, a large round edged needle and stuffing. Once completed this bird will look lovely hanging in your child’s bedroom, and the look of pride on your child’s face makes this a truly special craft for kids. Djeco offer a great range of sewing kits, so discover their collection and introduce your children to the wonderful art of sewing.
