Is your child ready to learn how to stitch? Some important questions to ask before teaching a child, especially a young child, to stitch are:
- Can the child be trusted with a needle? Even tapestry needles are pointy, and many young children are inclined to put anything in their mouths or leave the needles and thread lying around siblings and pets.
- Has the child’s motor coordination progressed to such a point that he or she is capable of handling the needle, thread and fabric without frequently dropping them or missing the holes?
- Can your child count to at least 20?
- Can the child sit still for more than 5 minutes at a time? Many young children have an extremely short attention span.
- Is the child interested? If the child isn't really interested in learning how to stitch, you’re probably wasting your time.
