my crafty weekend finds.
i thought these were so cute! they are made by THE LITTLE EXPERIENCE, a company dedicated to making fun crafty things for kids. I found these two cute stitch-it kits when i was out and about this weekend. this is something i am going to give as gifts and try with my tot when she gets a bit older. (for 6 yrs +)
the two kits i had my eyes on were the STITCH-IT RACOON KEYRING KIT and the STITCH-IT BEAR KEY RING KIT ! these kits include pre-cut bear felt pieces, printed canvas and floss, ready to stitch together to make a cute keyring! they are reasonably priced and a fun activity, and you end up with a cute little animal in the end! They also have KNIT-IT, BUILD-IT, and CREATE-IT items as well, for whatever you and your babes fancy! awww, what better way to get your tot moving creatively!
check out this cute SOCK MONKEY + FRIENDS book. you know those extra socks you have around the house that lost it's pair? well now you have a use for them!! you can make socks into stuffed-animal friends with this sock monkey craft kit by CHRONICAL BOOKS! it features step-by-step instructions for 9 unique sock creatures—including a cat, bear, pig, rabbit, elephant, and even a crocodile—plus basic sewing instructions for beginners and all the materials needed to create one adorable sock animal. the kit includes :: instruction book, two colorful socks, stuffing, and two buttons. reccommended for 8+ to make, but the results can be an adorable animal for any age!!
i love this.
