Needlecrafts for Kids

Looking for needlecrafts for kids?

Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved to make things and I was particularly lucky to have had my Mum to teach me how to knit and sew when I was very young, and a sister who taught me how to embroider and later got me addicted to cross stitch!

Combining knitting and sewing, I then started toymaking and made gifts for much younger family members and friends too.

These are skills which last a lifetime, once we've learned the basics, and there are some really fun and easy-to-do needlecrafts for kids projects right here to get them started.

For complete beginners, there's the First Sewing kit from KSG.

The Twilleys Cross Stitch Creative Craft Case is a great kit for beginners to cross stitch and I'm sure you'll love the Spare Moments cross stitch kits from KSG and the small cross stitch kits from Mouseloft - suitable for both boys and girls and adults too!

As knitting has become popular once again, learn to knit with the John Adams Fun With Wool kit, try the Bean Bag Knits from John Adams or learn to knit the Rainbow Sprites or a pretty pink party bag with one of the new craft bags from Twilleys. And if you just need some children's knitting needles, I have those too!

Plus there's also Crochet, Tapestry, Tie Dye and the fabulous Raffia Stitch kit from John Adams! And don't miss the chance to make your very own teddy bear with the gorgeous Make a Bear kit from John Adams too!

So many choices!

Happy crafting.

PS: Don't miss my other needlecraft pages:

Make and stitch a jewellery box, a desk tidy, a trinket box and a pencil case!
