Knitting for Kids with Threadz @PlaSmart { Toy Review }
Let’s step back in time.
You may remember as a child your gramma knitting a scarf for you for those cold Canadian winters? My gramma in law still does. I love the time and thought she puts into her hand crafted creations. So much so, many years ago I asked her to teach me. I dreamed of one day sitting in my rocker with my knitting needles in hand. I did complete the scarf that time, but I never gained the love I hoped too. Maybe I will in time or my next chapter I will give it a try again. But I do remember the feeling of pride I had. A feeling I still have over my first and only hand knitted scarf.
Fast Forward.
Our daughter is very creative and she loves a challenge. She was introduced to Threadz which are kid-friendly weaving and hooking kits that come with all the tools one needs to create a scarf, a beanie or a purse. Threadz kits feature the latest yarns in the hottest colours, which will match any style minded child. Threadz is a great confidence builder for crafty kids. I was really surprised by how quick she caught on to making her own beanie. I walked her through the easy to read instructions a few times around and she was off on her own. She has spent close to 2 hours, focused on creating her beanie. She has only asked for help a few times, which were simple little mistakes. Although the package says you can have a beanie in a few hours she still has a few more hours to go till completion. Each time she sits down for a few minutes to complete another row, she is excited and happy to review how far she has gotten. I am confident before the snow fly’s she will be wearing her hand crafted beanie. In the meantime her confidence is building.
