Needle Felting with Kids. A Great Beginner Project!

August 16, 2022 by Liza Adams

 

Here’s a great little project for a fun craft day with the kids.  This one will have them learning how to thread a needle, sew two pieces of fabric together as well as the method for stuffing and sewing a pillow!  As someone who has taught college students that didn’t know how to thread a needle, we should never assume that our children just know anything.  We need to show them and instill a love for creating things with their own hands!

Over at The Magic Onions you will find this neat little step by step for making a felted heart pillow that would be awesome as a gift for pretty much anyone the child believes deserves their time and efforts!  I love how they put all their love into something and are often just happy to give it away!  Letting them know how valued their creations are is so good for their confidence and self worth!

You can check out this inspiring project at the link here.

I hope you will enjoy this one with your children, grandchildren or any kiddos in your care!

Happy Felting!
