How to fill those upcoming school holidays without reverting to screen time or a trip to the shopping centre?

Why not try loom weaving? It's a great sensory activity that helps promote hand-eye coordination and problem-solving in a super fun and easy to begin way. If your child loves a trip to the gelato store, they'll love the neopolitan, peach, mint, vanilla and blueberry coloured yarns. 

Remember sewing, cross-stitch or string projects at school? As much as being pretty mother's day gifts, these projects helped develop our fine motor skills. These days, with iPADs and keyboards, it's important that we re-discover a variety of hand skills, including weaving.

You and your child can get creative with this complete beginner's Weaving Kit for children. Better still, we've found that the kids love following the free digital tutorial. Much more fun than the Zoom videos they've had to endure this year!

The loom is designed with comfort and ease in mind and perfect for smaller humans.  You or your child can weave on your lap or on a table.

The end result? A super proud kid, with a gorgeous tapestry ready to hang on their bedroom wall or to offer to Nanna.

Remember to post your child's finished project on Instagram using the hashtag #unfurlyourcreativenature and you may just find a free little gift in your next order :-)

The Kit Includes:

25 cm Wooden Loom

Weaving Tools (Weaving Comb, Tapestry Needle and Weaving Shuttle)

4 x skeins of medium to chunky yarn

2 x wool roving (wool that has not been spun into yarn)

PLUS a Digital copy of Beginner's Weaving Guide "World of Weaving" (emailed to you when your kit is dispatched).

Have you ever marvelled at the art of loom weaving?

There's a rich history and skill involved in the craft, which, despite industrialisation, has endured for centuries over many cultures. Believe it or not, once upon a time, such looms were considered as high-tech as your Samsung Galaxy 20 is now.
