For Ages 3 to 6 (Depending on Each Child)

Each child is a little different so use your best judgment when selecting a set of lacing cards for a child. There is no actual needle involved--a shoelace type string or thread is used instead--so sewing cards are a great way to introduce sewing and needlework to young children.

Ages 7 to 12 (Consider the ability level of the child)

Sewing is a fun craft that requires a little more skill than cutting and pasting. When a child is ready to start sewing, a sewing kit is a great introduction to this craft.

Grab a knitting kit and watch this knitting tutorial for even more help, if needed.

By the time kids reach age 13, they often have the skill, patience, and dexterity to tackle more difficult needlework projects. Keep the child or adult's skill level in mind when buying a needlework kit for a gift.
