Top Ten Kids Gifts for Loom Knitting

Here is my top ten kids gifts list for loom knitting fun. I love how easy this craft is for all ages but especially for kids. You can almost say that it’s fail-proof which is great for boosting confidence plus this is something they CAN do with little to no supervision. They get a tangible item that they can give as a family or charitable gift. Talk about a win / win situation.

A healthy alternative to television or video games. According to Gary Scholar, Health & Wellness Consultant to the employees of the American Hospital Association, “I have incorporated knitting classes in my Health & Wellness programs for employees because of the health benefits. I would like to see implemented at Children’s hospitals a program to teach sick children how to knit so they have something to keep their minds occupied and be proud of what they have made if they are in the hospital for an extended time,”

Let’s give our kids something beautiful and constructive to do, and please don’t focus only on the girls boys can knit too.

I will start my Top Ten Kids Gifts like the radio disc jockey do, from the bottom up. That way things are more interesting.

 

Top Ten Kids Gifts

 

 

 Number 10:  BonBons Yarn by Lion Brand

These are just the right size for little hands. The small yarn skein scores super high on the Cute Scale.

I love putting these into gift baskets or as holiday stuffers. They’re really soft and come in some incredibly bright happy crayon colors. If your kiddo likes earth tones Lion Brand can accommodate that rare little person too. Heads-up: They are Very small.

Number 09  The Han-Ami Flower Loom

This loom is very versatile. It comes in a 6 shape set. You would be surprise how many projects can be done with this little tool. Just to get a small understanding of the magnitude visit the Kniting-and.com webpage. It will make your head spin.

It’s a small and inexpensive gift that packs a wallow of a punch. Like the BonBon Yarn this is great for gift baskets or as a holiday stuffer.

Number 08 Knitting Doll

Knitting dolls sometimes called French Dolls are really just fancy spool looms. They go way back in history. This form knitting happens to be one of my favorite for kids. It naturally lends itself for small projects. A lot of my gift  choices lean towards this type of loom knitting. If you are wonder about the type of project that can be made with a spool looms just put the word in your browser, choose images and let the games begin. The list will blow you away.

Heads-up with this buy – You don’t get to choose the doll. But I think the pretty box the doll comes in makes up for the lack of choice.

Some of the Dolls are just so beautiful they seem more like artwork then actual tools. Take the Djeco Spool loom as a great example. The detail in the head gear and dress are stunning. There is only one model but that one is definitely worth the expense.

It has that heirloom look and according to the reviews this is a high quality product.

Number 05 Creativity For Kids Quick Knit Loom

Quick, knit and kids is a great combo. A lot of little ones don’t have long attention spans. You need to give projects that won’t take long but are fun and the results are tangible.

Among my favorite things about this product is the name brand. I know Crativity for Kids and they’re stuff is made with great care to meet the needs of its young audience. That is important because kids get excited about little things that don’t move us a bit. According to an Amazon review: three bunches of yarn (purple, light pink and bright pink), a large loom which can be used to make hats, purses and other similar items; a double-headed piece with small looms at either end which can be used to make purse handles, belts, etc.; a tassel-maker, two needles, some thread and a few accessories like buttons and beads for jazzing up your creations.

Number 04 Corking (Kids Can Do It) by Judy Ann Sadler

Now Heads-up: You must own a spool loom. Corking is another word for spool knitting.

Number 03 Style Me Up Romantic Scarf

I am truly a fan of kids craft kits. I can’t say that enough. Kids are not small adults. They stuff that they get excited over doesn’t move us an inch, sometimes. Some of us love every thing they love. I can relate.

This kits is put together nicely. Includes large plastic knitting loom; plastic yarn hook with metal tip; 115 yards of fashionable, rainbow-colored yarn; 115 yards of trendy yarn; 8.9 yards of various ribbons; 128 rhinestone stickers; and color, illustrated booklet. Makes two scarves

Heads-up on this purchase: Best to have some other yarn on hand. The one included is a bit thin.

 

Number 02 Style Me Up Fashion Knitting Studio

Again, I am truly a fan of kids craft kits. I can’t say that enough. The projects are fun and the colors are bright. Unlike the previous kit this one includes three looms. Those items are worth the price. Of all the kits I find this one the one the best value.

Here is the list of stuff included according to the Style Me Up website: Colored yarn
• 3 knitting looms
• Knitting hook
• Plastic needle
• Colour instructions

 

Number 01 

VINTAGE Barbie GLITTER KNITTING KIT w Easy To Use LOOM & GLITTER YARN (1986)

Heads-up ONLY 1 AVAILABLE at the time of this article. More of a collector’s item unless your baby just has to have one.

So ever since my daughter turned 3 I became a big time Barbie FAN. By the way, I use to hate Barbie before that time. I liked baby dolls as a child and felt something was wrong with Barbie because she looked like the adults but she was smaller than the babies. But now, well I just love to dress up a Barbie.

This gift brings together soooo many cool things ; The Barbie Brand, Looms, Glitter and Yarn. Just the word Glitter makes me happy.
