The educational value of crafts for kids, cannot be underestimated. It teaches skills, obviously, but also forms the basis for great attitudes: waking up and knowing you have a project; reading directions, and following them; making choices, colors, shapes, and what to do next; creating something useful with spare time; learning to be orderly and tidy in order to be able to continue. It also offers the possibility of interacting with parents. Then you also will find woodworking kits for adults and some toy manufacturers produce educational projects as well, like a recycled soda bottle into a bird feeder. Clearly, craft kits are worth 4 gold stars on the family values scorecard. And for more opportunities in this regard, please have a look at some selected events we've found for you in craft news and festivals for family fun.
For ideas for craft projects for the entire family, you can scroll down through the American crafts companies below, There are two companies at the bottom part of the page offering knitting and weaving supplies, including the warm and soft, alpaca.

This embroidery hoop is a great little gadget and an example of a small business owner who would rather keep Americans working than send jobs overseas...."The Jennoop® Collapsible Hoop stand is manufactured in the United States. I have been told by retail craft stores, if we make embroidery equipment overseas and got the cost down, they would carry the Jennoop® Collapsible stand in their stores, making more of a profit from their overhead costs and for themselves. We have chosen not to make the Jennoop® overseas so as not to take jobs away from the American Workforce. Instead, the Jennoop® Collapsible Hoop stand is selling in cross-stitch, hand embroidery and needlepoint catalogs. You can buy this online on their website.
