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.

You should encourage them to practice more often but never try to force them to do so. Try to make them practice on scrap fabric material so that they gain perfection. Once they have practiced enough, only then start off with the actual project otherwise it will be ruined and the finishing product will not look good at all.

Although you need to encourage them to practice more often but at the same time you should keep your lessons simple and short. This is because kids have a very short attention span and they loose interest in those things which they do not find interesting at all. You have to make the whole thing interesting for them so that it keeps them occupied.

Attempt to make it a fun procedure for them so it keeps them possessed. Kids have a limited ability to focus and if something does not intrigue them, they would prefer not to do it any longer. In this way, its vital to make it an intriguing undertaking for them. Utilize simple and fun designs like their most loved cartoon characters and utilize basic and fundamental hues.

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.
