Easy And Fun Embroidery For Kids

By Donald Bailey


There are certain things that should be taught at an early stage in order for the young kids are able to gain a better understanding. Embroidery is one of those things that should be taught from an early stage so that they are able to use it for their lifetime.

Its important to keep things simple because you are teaching kids and they cannot do complicated things from the beginning. You should make them learn basics first as it makes things simple to understand. Once they get grips on their basics then they will find it very easy to take the next steps with regards to improving their skills. Learning basics means the kids would have a strong foundation.

Ask them to practice as often as they can because practice makes them perfect. Before doing any real projects its better to do practice of different stitches on scrap fabric pieces because if you start of on the actual project it will ruin it completely. Practicing means that when you start the actual project you will get the best results which is just amazing.

Despite the fact that, they have to hone to pick up flawlessness yet attempt to keep the lessons short and basic make an effort not to confound them at all. This is on the grounds that on the off chance that you force it on them, they will at no time in the future find such lessons intriguing and it will turn out to be very exhausting for them and eventually they will free their advantage totally.

If the kids find it a fun process, then they will not loose their interest at all. You could use easy patterns but to make it interesting for the kids, you can use their favorite cartoon characters as their pattern. Also, try using bright colors that the kids love.

As you are teaching kids, therefore always use threads and needles that are safe to use around the kids. Thin needles can be extremely dangerous for them as they can poke their fingers with it. Thick needles and chunky threads is a good options. Also, the fabric you use should be easy to manage. Usually cotton is used because its pretty easy to manage and kids can handle it without any difficulty at all.

Usually, kids love working in groups therefore, give them group lessons instead of individual lessons. Create an environment for them that is not only competitive but also fun at the same time. Encourage them to compete with each other and make them feel motivated enough to improve their existing skills and do better than before.

You can also introduce some sort of reward system where you reward those kids who do pretty well. It motivates and encourages them to do better than others so that they can be rewarded. Try not to make it too complicated for them because otherwise they will stop making the effort if they think its too hard to earn the rewards.
