Needlepoint Kit for Kids - Catie, the Cat

Cute, cool, and completely irresistible. Meet Catie the Cat — a rosy-cheeked tabby kitten from UK-based Unwind Studio. Simple step-by-step instructions guide children through the easy half-cross tent stitch, making this a wonderful introduction to needlework for kids.

Once finished, the piece can be framed for the bedroom wall or sewn on as a patch to a jacket, schoolbag, or tote. Frame not included.

Needlepoint is a wonderful activity for kids. Beyond the fun of creating something with their own hands, it helps develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, encourages creative thinking, and builds concentration and patience. Following a pattern develops organizational skills, while completing a project gives a real boost to self-confidence. It's also a screen-free way to relax and unwind — something kids need just as much as adults.
